Not a Mac user and I rarely use ESC instead of ALT while editing with
Emacs on a local computer, but when editing remotely I do have to use
ESC because the Gnome terminal emulator steals a few ALTed keys. Maybe
there is a way to stop that behaviour but it didn't occur to me til just
now. Hmm.
Meanwhile the concept of a computer with "no escape" just shows Apple
getting deeper into existentialism. First it was the hipster Mac users
with the Beatnik black berets and turtlenecks, and now this. <wink>
