I have just started using a mutant Dvorak and I usually use zsh inside
Stuart with the alt key set to ESC.      ^ keymapping [oops]

Now when I use alt instead of getting ESC-DvorakKey I get ESC-UsaKey.
If I press ESC and the letter manually everything works fine.  Terminal
seems to do this too.  Is this a configuration error, a Stuart bug, or
a useful feature?  :-)

I tried, but I _can't_ resist.  Stuart2.4 is so close to release that
my teeth hurt, and it does this right - it reads the current keymap
rather than using a hard-coded map, so your Meta keys send the key
like the keymap, not like the keycap.  I'm going to be dying if it
doesn't come out yet this weekend [unfortunately, my Internet feed is
down until Sunday, so I'm stuck at ~2400baud :-( Makes it tough to
send out those last slight fixes to testers].  More as available ...

Later,
