Something I would dearly love to see in a terminal emulator, and which
none of them have yet (are you listening Lonnie?) is a "Meta" key. This
(for you unitiated out there) is a key which sets the "parity" or 8th
bit in the outgoing characters (obviously, one must be running in a "no
parity" mode). A certain popular screen editor (emacs) uses this key as
a sort of "control" key to give one easy access to a number of editing
functions. I know that availability of a meta key would prompt a large
number of people to buy the terminal emulator that supplied it.
