This works for me and Xah: (setq w32-pass-lwindow-to-system nil w32-pass-rwindow-to-system nil w32-pass-apps-to-system nil w32-lwindow-modifier 'super ;; Left Windows w32-rwindow-modifier 'super ;; Right Windows w32-apps-modifier 'hyper) ;; App-Menu (key to right of Right Windows) But it works even better if you modify the registry with KeyTweak* to effect the bottom row layout: Win Alt Ctl Spacebar Ctl Alt Win Apps or Super Meta Ctl Spacebar Ctl Meta Super Hyper * Provides (in part) about the same functionality in MS Os as Xmodmap in Gnu-Linux.
