What is a meta key when in evil mode
What is a meta key when in emacs evil mode?
I have a leader key defined like this:
(require 'evil-leader)
(global-evil-leader-mode)
(evil-leader/set-leader ",")
(evil-leader/set-key
"." 'eval-buffer
"," 'projectile-find-file
"t" 'dired-jump
"c" 'comment-or-uncomment-region
"w" 'save-buffer
"b" 'switch-to-buffer
"k" 'kill-buffer)
But I don't think there is a direct 1: 1 mapping between leaf-key and meta-key.
Many emacs key binding examples use a meta key and I have no idea what that is.

From the Emacs FAQ :
On many keyboards <Alt> acts like <Meta>, give it a try.
Instead of typing Ma, you can type <ESC> [then] <a>. In fact, Emacs converts Ma internally to <ESC> <a> anyway (depending on the value of the meta-prefix-char). Note that you press <Meta> and <a> together, but with, you press <ESC>, release it and then press <a>
