map alt / option key as meta in mac os x

[Vinh Nguyen]

hi all,

is it possible to do the above instead of using apple key as the meta
key?  some of the things i tried:
//modifiers.A = modifiers.M;
// apple-x is M-A-x, and alt-key is nothing, alt-x is like regular x
//modifiers.M = modifiers.A;
//con alt-letter is still greek, apple-x is like regular x
//modifier_order = ['C', 'M', 'S']; // removes apple key
//modifiers.M = new modifier(
//    function (event) { return event.altKey; },
//    function (event) { event.altKey = true; });
// above is the closest, alt-x gives M-greek letter.  if i can get rid
of greek letters.  this is taken from modules/keyboard.js

i even tried messing with keyboard.js, and removing the darwin check.
i think one of method above could work if i could disable the greek
letters / mathematical symbols in conkeror...that is disable the alt
key as some sort of shift key.  is this possible?  thanks.

Hi Vinh,

  It would be necessary, as you suggest, to disable the
greek/mathematical symbols in order to use Alt instead of Meta.  I
have not found a way to do that.  If you find out how, please let us
know.
