Hey! I found the solution: wsconsctl keyboard.encoding=us.metaesc An interesting story about how I found it: I searched something like "openbsd console alt key", but nothing. Then I thought, who uses ALT key most? Emacs user! So I searched "emacs console alt key", and found the solution by EmacsWiki. https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/MetaKeyProblems digua
