Thanks for the kind words I'm glad you liked it :)
When I try option+x I get the weird character that you mention but command+x still works for me :/ Assuming you copied the code in this tutorial, it sounds like you copied the part where I remap command to "meta" and leave option as nothing, I would try making sure that both all of that lisp code is evaluated; I'm wondering if your emacs is in some weird state where you've unmapped the option key but not mapped the command key.. Try the tutorial from scratch (make sure to remove the .emacs file in your home directory) and when it comes to the section about remapping keys make sure to use M-x eval-buffer so that everything gets evaluated.
I did that but found myself just typing the words into the file buffer (I think). I seem to be not switching to any eval-buffer or anything special by pressing M-x. Sorry, but I've given up for now. 😂 Thanks for your time! It was definitely worth the effort. I've seen Emacs wizards at work and it's a tool I'll revisit later for sure. 🙂
