Thanks for picking this up as well.

Yes, that wouldn't work on Windows, so we should use something else or
an alternative approach.

Yes, I can confirm this.  I also tried it with my approach with the same
result: C-c C-c View doesn't work.  I didn't try to find out why,
though.

I have a question: Is putting the "progname='%`%l%(mode)%''" in each
entry necessary?  I slightly changed my initial proposal and it seems to
work as well.  The code looks less complicated to me.  I admit I didn't
test every combination in the code.

Best, Arash
