I don't understand what you mean by that. Would you please explain? Why should we add hacks to encoded-kbd-mode to work around a bug in the w32 support, rather than fix this w32 code? In those abstract terms, both sound good. But I am not sure what concrete things you are talking about. Is one of them the same as what Handa said was too difficult to do now? If you propose a different solution that people are willing to implement now, fine and good. Otherwise, you're just arguing for a nonexistent solution, so stop. If we can't find this someone, then we should probably leave this bug. No. After all it's been there in one form or another since Emacs-20. That doesn't change anything.
