Command key as Meta key in OS X Terminal.app

Viewed 42939

When i unckeck the 'Use option as meta key' box in Settings, and then do Cmd+F (which i want to mean Meta+F for forward-word in bash) Terminal gives me a 'find word' popup, which isn't what i want. What i really want is for my Terminals to behave just like an xterm w.r.t. the key bindings. Is there any way to disable this popup and its binding?

I know i could just use actual xterms, but for a variety of reasons i want to use Terminal.

thanks in advance, Eric
