The interpretation of keys goes in the other direction: first Windows interprets a keypress, then it passes on the possibly-remapped key to Vim or whatever other application has focus, and _that_ application interprets what it got from Windows. But Windows+R is just the Run command, so you could emulate it by the :! command in Vim. There are some differences in the implementation details between :! and Windows+R, so if you really want to you could use the excellent and free Autohotkey <https://www.autohotkey.com/> to sense when you press :! (or any other chosen combination) in a Vim window and pass Widows+R to the OS. Stan Brown Tehachapi, CA, USA https://BrownMath.com -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
