Future<bool> enableOptionAsMetaForProfile(String profileName)

Enable Option as Meta key for a Terminal.app profile.

Uses PlistBuddy to modify the profile's useOptionAsMetaKey setting.

Implementation

Future<bool> enableOptionAsMetaForProfile(String profileName) async {
  // First try to add the property (in case it doesn't exist).
  var result = await Process.run('/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy', [
    '-c',
    "Add :'Window Settings':'$profileName':useOptionAsMetaKey bool true",
    getTerminalPlistPath(),
  ]);

  // If adding fails (likely because it already exists), try setting it.
  if (result.exitCode != 0) {
    result = await Process.run('/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy', [
      '-c',
      "Set :'Window Settings':'$profileName':useOptionAsMetaKey true",
      getTerminalPlistPath(),
    ]);
    if (result.exitCode != 0) return false;
  }
  return true;
}
