You are using zsh in MULTIBYTE mode to support modern character sets (for

need to revert to single-byte mode with a command such as
unsetopt MULTIBYTE

I think for now I'm going to let sleeping dogs lie. 'showkey' reports
that the meta key does something so maybe I'll bring it to some use one
day but for now I have other irons in the fire. I haven't reinstalled
my system for several years and there's much to do.
