I installed tcsh using pkg_add on OBSD i386 4.3. The problem is that tcsh doesn't recognize either left or right alt key as meta. Instead I get different accented characters such as: (alt-backspace), f (alt-f), b (alt-b). This is true for both BSD and XTerm consoles.
The alt keys work fine as meta under the default ksh shell. Out of the box, zsh also doesn't recognize the alt keys. However, adding "bindkey -m" to ~/.zshrc appears to "fix" the problem. Unfortunately, tcsh's bindkey doesn't have this "-m" option. Can somebody suggest a fix for enabling the console to recognize the alt keys as meta keys? I need to use tcsh because this is the shell I use in OSX and GNU/Linux. Thanks
