I’ve been looking for a solution to this for years. Maybe somebody can give me a tip. I posted a detailed description of what I’m looking for in an Apple support discussion forum thread.
Basically, I want a real Meta key in the Mac OS X Terminal application. The “Use option as meta key” checkbox in the preferences doesn’t count because on my Swiss German keyboard layout I need the option key to type all sorts of characters that are important on the UNIX command line. The ESC key doesn’t count either, as explained in the discussion post.
Hey really your desktop installation is really cool! Im currious to know what you use to put your laptop in the position in the photo. It's a commercial product or a home-made stand?
Thank you!
Hi there,
I think you meant to comment on a different blog entry, right You probably meant this one:

Anyway, the stand is actually for something completely different, it's a stand to hold a bunch of letters on a desk. It's something like this here:

But it's not optimal, I had to pad it, because if the laptop does not stand *exactly* vertical, the whole thing falls over because of the weight of the laptop.
Hi Marc. Thank you for you answer. I Don't know why the comment are posted in the wrong post, weird :S
Anyway, for the stand, i see. You knw, your desktop lloks really clean and i search a way to have a clean desktop. And when you work at home, this is really important ^^
