Alt and option modifiers for macros

[Ithulta]

I like to use alt modifiers with keys for my macro triggers, but it's pretty annoying when I come across some random hexadecimal code in my prf files, and I have to guess what key the macro's bound two. The macro faq seemed to imply that there was an easier way to enter such modifier sequences, like \[Alt]X. Is there any easy way to enter these kinds of sequences, and if not, does anybody know of some kind of table with the codes for all such sequences?

Never mind.

Strike that. I can't seem to find anything. I thought that the syntax used here at http://www.killerbunnies.org/angband/ would work, but it didn't.

# A macro for the Forge ammo ability.
?:[ABILITY "Ammo creation"]
A:\e\e\em@Forge\sammo\n
P:\[alt-F]

# The Manwe prayer Listen to the Music.
?:[AND [EQU $GOD "Manwe Sulimo"] [GEQN [SKILL Prayer] 7] ]
A:\e\e\em@Cast\sa\sspell\n@Listen\sto\sthe\sMusic\n
P:\[alt-I]

# Jedi powers from FuryMod.
?:[AND [EQU $MODULE "Fury"] [GEQN [SKILL Jedi] 1] ]
A:\e\e\em@Use\sJedi\sPowers\n
P:\[alt-J]

Help?

in game I tried querying a macro I used... and I used [alt-F], I also run a windows machine so this automatically brings up the file menu... not sure if there is a work around... but it does look like the game accepts the alt-F (but with my machine also brings up the file menu each time.

On my laptop control-key combinations seem to work fairly well but the alt-key combinations are pretty funky. As Shoob said, that seems to be because they are interacting with the system outside of the game.

Interacting with things outside the system wouldn't be a problem for me (macs mostly use the command key, instead), but that still isn't working. It's really not that much of a problem, though. This is kinda off-topic, but does anybody know whether escapes ('\e') can be used in keymaps? I changed my macros to keymaps, and now the escape sequences no longer seem to work.

EDIT:
Answered.

Has anybody else ever tried this (\[alt-F]) with the mac version?
