} Is there a simple way to find out which meta sequence block which
} multibyte characters for people who aren't too familiar with UTF-8
} encoding?
No, not really. The set of multibyte characters depends on the current
locale setting, and there are potentially thousands of them, most of
which will be broken by "bindkey -m".
} It might also be worth mentioning that, depending on your terminal
} emulator, you might be able to sidestep the problem entirely.
It's not *exactly* sidestepping the problem, because you still have to
avoid running "bindkey -m". It may be an alternative to "bindkey -m".
} In xterm at least, you can control whether the meta key sets the
} eighth bit or sends an escape character depending on the values of the
} eightBitInput and metaSendsEscape resources.
That doesn't have the desired effect for me, because eightBitInput has
to be false, which AFAICT means you can't send multibyte characters
either. Am I doing something wrong, or is my xterm version too old?
