Menu
I have been using Emacs for a while now and figured that Meta is Alt. Problem is Spyder recognizes both Meta and Alt in its list of shortcuts.
In fact, the shortcut for end of line that works for me turns out to be Ctrl + e, just like the one in Emacs. This is confusing.
Any help will be appreciated. I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 and Spyder 3.1.4.

Generally, the Meta key worked similar to Macintosh's Command key, in that when held down it modified letters and symbols into immediate commands (shortcuts). On these keyboards the Control key was placed closest to the space bar, then the Meta key outside Control.
The two modifier keys referred to are the Control ( Ctrl ) key and the Meta key . When using Emacs emulation on a keyboard without a Meta key, the Escape ( Esc ) key can be used instead. Note that Esc must be typed before pressing the required character key, and not held down. and press Return .
(Spyder developer here) According to the Qt documentation:
On Mac OS X, this [the Meta key] corresponds to the Control keys. On Windows keyboards, this key is mapped to the Windows key.
So we are simply following Qt usage.
Note: Qt is the graphical toolkit on top of which Spyder is built.
