I am sorry, but how do you use this?
I included the contents of the file in the beginning of this thread in my setup but I still can't have them swapped.
I am on Catalina by the way. I am also using terminal mode (emacs -nw)
@hisnawi This setup does not work for emacs -nw
, since it is your terminal emulator(iTerm2, Terminal.app etc) who controls the cmd and option key behavior.

@idcrook I don't know about you, but for my Emacs Mac Port these ns-* commands are still not available. However, for everyone searching to get something like that to work, there exists now a
mac-right-{alternate|command}-modifier
command!
