Alt keypresses on a mac #2

Hello 👋
I'm super interested to try this out. I'm on a mac and I don't seem to be able to use some of the functions - i think the default keymap doesn't work well on a mac.

For example. I'm trying to cycle the functions with next-candidate which should be invoked with ALT-n. However, if I press option-n it's getting interpreted as option ~ and so the next-candidate function bound to ALT-n isn't firing.

This is what is displayed at the bottom when I press Option n:

I don't know how to actually trigger an ALT-n on a mac. Whenever the Option key is pressed down the character that is bound to the n key changes. This can be seen with the onscreen keyboard viewer:

And so, if the option key is pressed, any press of n is going to be interpreted as a ~.

I can change the key_table.clj so that it looks for a ~ instead of a n, but I thought i'd raise the issue here in case there's another option.
