Interesting. It’s not just you and it’s not your Mac. I see this
on
GTK+3/GNU/Linux:
$ emacs -Q
M-x org-mode RET
C-h k M-<left>
<M-left> runs the command org-metaleft […]
C-h k ESC <left>
ESC <left> (translated from <escape> <left>) runs the command
backward-word […]
$ emacs -Q -nw
C-h k ESC <left>
M-x org-mode RET
ESC <left> (translated from ESC M-O D) runs the command
org-metaleft […]
<M-left> runs the command org-metaleft (found in org-mode-map)
[…]
Looking into org.el shows that it binds [(meta left)] which
seems to
not include the GUI <M-left> key.
