Hi,
I'd like to have the "apps"-key as another Meta-key.
I've tried this:
(global-set-key [apps] 'Meta)
...But of course it didn't work. I've also tried the same with "\M"
or "Esc" instead of "Meta", but Emacs always tells me, the apps-
definition is void...
Has the Meta-key a special command name? Or is there a totally
different way to get this result?
I hope that's not a complete newbie question, but I didn't find
anything on the internet or the news archive about it..
Thanks in advance!

Which OS are you running? I've never seen an "apps" key.
Anyway: this may or may not help:

Hello Joost,
thanks a lot for the link, but it didn't help I'm afraid.
The apps-key is the key in between the "Alt-GR"-key and the "CTRL"-key
on the right side of the space-key. Normally it has the same function
as a right mouse click I think, but it is undefined in Emacs.
My normal Meta-key is "Alt" on the left side and it works well, but
I'd like to have a second one on the right side. And the apps-key
seems just right for this purpose.
On the internet I've found a way to give it another function by doing
this:
(global-set-key [apps] 'preview-document)
Is there a way to do the same thing, but with the Meta key instead of
the command "preview-document"?
By the way: I'm running Windows Vista... And I am not very proud of
it :)

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.

Those two does not work reliably and for all key combinations.
