Different behavior for left/right alt is a must for me:

- Left-Alt = Meta/+Esc

- Right-Alt = OS X Alt

I built an .inputrc/.zshrc so that text/word/line movements behave the same as in Cocoa text fields, like Ctrl+Left/Right and Alt+Left/Right.

Had I done that under Terminal.app, I would have given up on being able to type characters like | (Alt+Shift+L) or ~ (Alt+N) on my French keyboard, which would make a terminal much, much less useless.
