• Emacs: Meta-Control, how to do it in Terminal?

  I don't think that the question was about anything under X11... It's about Terminal.app, which is not an X11 application.
  
  I also have been very frustrating by its inability to send the Control+Meta combination. As far as I can tell, there isn't a *single* terminal emulator that runs under OSX capable of sending it. My everyday work requires me to use a console emacs through an ssh connection, so being able to type it is very important. (The alternative is to a highly unergonomic need to press ESC every other keystroke!).
  
  If anyone figures out a fix, I'd *love* to hear it!
  
  Thanks,
  
  Antonio
  
  [In the meantime, I'll try that X11 trick. It might be the next best thing...]

  You can try pressing "Esc" then Control-anotherkey, it's cumbersome but should work.
  
  If you look with Google you should find some config examples where are redefine a lot (all?) of terminal keys combinations (and the equivalent binding inside Emacs), but i don't recall if Meta-Control could be flawlessly integrated...

  Hi There,
  
  You need to configure the mac 'terminal' application so the 'alt / option' key sends 'meta'. In order to do this, go to:
  
  Terminal > Preferences > Settings > Keyboard
  
  and select the 'Use option as meta key' checkbox at the bottom of the window.
  
  I hope that helps,
