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 a
little misleading. Perhaps adding a reference in the manual to the
variable
documentation 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.
