(This is a standard MS Windows feature that all programs I know of - except Emacs - uses to access the menubar.) It works with the following: (setq w32-pass-alt-to-system t) (setq w32-alt-is-meta nil) However if StickyKeys (an Accessibility Option) is used then I have to tap the Alt-key two times to get to the menubar. I found this quite annoying, it makes the menus much more inaccessible. ** More info: Settings I use for StickyKeys are: - Use shortcut: off - Press modifier twice to lock: off - Turn StickyKeys off if two keys are pressed at once: off Kind regards, Lennart
