Unchorded M- translation using g

[mattfidler]

When ergoemacs is reading a key-sequence and it is unchorded, allow g to represent meta. This idea is from

https://github.com/chrisdone/god-mode

[mattfidler]

Possibly use G, space and repeat commands

[mattfidler]

G now represents M-C-

@xahlee Is there a good key to use for an escape sequence? That is to quote the next input

[xahlee]

@mlf176f2 i never came up with a key for that. Tried a few in my own keyset, never settled on a choice. I think it's rather rarely used. (i now just use emacs default Ctrl+q)

[mattfidler]

I'm not talking about a key, but rather an arrow or something like that.

god-mode uses space to make unchorded key combinations. See above link.

this might do ⎋
BROKEN CIRCLE WITH NORTHWEST ARROW
in previous version of Unicode, it's named Escape i think.
Apple's doc uses that symbol

i've seen Mathematica uses 「⋮」 VERTICAL ELLIPSIS, but not sure it still uses that.

PS i wrote a JavaScript app that one can search any unicode by name. Just type in the search box.

Apple's this might do another candidate is 「␛」. I'd just go with ⎋

[mattfidler]

Thanks Xah. The only character that displays for me is ⎋; It is likely what I will go with.

But for this I realized that I could display [Ctrl+] and then drop it for literal translations.

[mattfidler]

Now Added space literal translation.

@xahlee I have implemented most of this.

In addition, now you can now press backspace to delete the last key press in a key sequence.

For example, if you accidentally press C-x v and you meant C-x C-v, you can press backspace to get back to C-x.

While completing the key sequence you can also add/edit an argument by pressing <f2>. I chose <f2> because it is what you edit a formula with in excel. I also added <f2> to be isearch edit string because of this new key binding.

It sort of conflicts with <f2>being cut-line-or-region. However, the times I defined it to be edit argument or edit search string, the cut-line-or-region does not make sense. Its sort of a smart/dwim key. Can you think of another key binding?
