Because Org contains a large number of commands, by default many of Org's core commands are bound to keys that are generally not accessible on a tty, such as the cursor keys (<left>, <right>, <up>, <down>), <TAB> and <RET>, in particular when used together with modifiers like <Meta> and/or <Shift>. To access these commands on a tty when special keys are unavailable, the following alternative bindings can be used. The tty bindings below will likely be more cumbersome; you may find for some of the bindings below that a customized workaround suits you better. For example, changing a timestamp is really only fun with S-<cursor> keys, whereas on a tty you would rather use C-c . to re-insert the timestamp.
