   Confused... META key is ALT or the WIN key? !kde !emacs !linux

     @nileshgr META is the key with the windows logo

     @jorchube but in !emacs, pressing ALT yields META results and in !kde pressing WIN yields META results

     @nileshgr Or, in Emacs, the Esc key, pressed before the key indicated. (e.g. "M-x" is Esc, X.)

     @nileshgr in my opinion, META = Windows Key & MOD = Alt

     @nileshgr Yes, the way different apps in X name their keys is very confusing. (I think some apps think the Win key is "Super", not "Meta".)
