ESC d is "press the escape key, then press the d key" → two keystrokes.
M-d is "hold down the meta key while pressing the d key" → one
keystroke.
On my keyboard "$" is "hold down the right alt key while pressing the 4
key" → one keystroke.
I think "holding down a (modifier-)key while pressing another key" is
sometimes called "a chorded keystroke"?
I think this explicitly puts this thread to bed.
