I quote: "If I run emacs on the Sun with the display on Windows (using ReflectionX as the Xserver) everything is fine, except that Emacs intercepts the ALT-TAB sequence, which I use to switch between windows. Is there a way to tell Emacs to ignore Alt-TAB (but not other ALT key usage) and allow Windows to do its normal stuff. I can tell the Xserver not to pass *any* ALT key presses to Emacs but that is clearly not helpful." I've already perused .../etc/PROBLEMS and the Emacs FAQ (21.3 vintage), but haven't found anything useful. I don't know much about X, but it sounds like Emacs's keyboard settings are getting sent down the cable to the terminal program on MS-Windows, which then directs w32 to forward the ALT-TAB key sequence to Emacs. Would somebody help, please? -- Alan Mackenzie (Munich, Germany) Email: aacm@muuc.dee; to decode, wherever there is a repeated letter (like "aa"), remove half of them (leaving, say, "a").
