Hi all,

I just started using tmux. I really like it so far -- a solid replacement
for screen. The one single problem I have is that tmux steals the Alt
(meta) key presses from a Midnight Commander running within it.

I have made my prefix key C-[, which works well. But tmux also interprets
Alt + anykey the same as C-[ + anykey when using Midnight Commander. Since
there are lots of Alt+ keystrokes in MC, this become pretty annoying.

So I either need to have tmux ignore Alt + keystrokes for all applications
running within it, or at least for Midnight Commander.

Note that this doesn't affect emacs, for example. All the Alt+ keystrokes
are passed through to emacs correctly.

My .tmux.conf file is shown below. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Madeleine.
