From: "Francis Wright" <address@hidden> Cc: <address@hidden> Date: Sun, 17 Dec 2006 21:58:36 -0000 The documentation for the variable `w32-pass-lwindow-to-system' carries a rider that key *combinations* involving the left windows key cannot be handled by Emacs, but the manual does not include this rider, and so is alittle misleading. Perhaps adding a reference in the manual to the variabledocumentation for further details would suffice.Sorry, I don't understand: what rider? what variable?
The final paragraph of the help for the variable `w32-pass-lwindow-to-system' explains the point that Lennart is making, which is that this variable only affects the left Windows key when it is pressed alone. When it is used as a modifier key, the combination is trapped by Windows at a low level and so cannot he handled by Emacs. It would be helpful if this information were included in the manual in some way.
