[Vimperator] ALT mappings and C-[ (on Mac?)

[Daniel Schaffrath]

Hello everybody!

I'd like to have mappings to switch between tabs which use the alt  
modifier and some digit, like <A-1> for moving left, etc. But :map  
<A-1> gt does not work.

The reasons seems to be that vimperators onKeyPress: function (event)  
has the digit '1' already somewhat 'cooked' by the alt modifier in it  
(which renders it to become '¡'). If the mapping was meta instead of  
alt the digit is not cooked.

Maybe the vimperator event handler is not "early" enough to get raw  
events? Something similar seems to happen to <C-[> which becomes  
(strange enough) <C-^[> (which is really annoying as the real Escape  
is that far out...)

Does anyone have a clue if this is a vimperator or FF on Mac issue?

Thanks a lot,
Daniel Schaffrath
