I'm not sure the Windows or Alt keys are directly usable, and I still don't think anything like your attempted "<A-r>" syntax is something mutt understands as a key combination. However, you can use Ctrl, or prefix with Escape. (So you could use "\Cr" for Ctrl+R or "<esc>r" for Escape then r. Something like "\C<f3>" also might work for Ctrl+F3.) Maybe that would work for you? See http://mutt.org/doc/manual/#bind for the possibilities. -- Michael Kjörling 🔗 https://michael.kjorling.se
