The only problem now is that the Command, not the Option, key is the X11
meta key, so it's the wrong one and you can get some unwelcome
interference with the menu shortcuts.
It should not be forgotten that this idea of using the Opt key as Meta
is of interest only for US keyboards. We Europeans (even when we use US
keyboards) need the Opt key as an AltGr replacement. What is most
unfortunate on Apple keyboards is that the left and right Opt and Cmd
keys always emit the same keycodes.
