I think for now I'm going to let sleeping dogs lie. 'showkey' reports that the meta key does something so maybe I'll bring it to some use one day but for now I have other irons in the fire.

To use the Meta or Alt keys, you probably need to revert to single-byte mode with a command such as unsetopt MULTIBYTE (then more questions follow)
