You can use function -@code{w32-register-hot-key} to allow a key sequence to be seen by Emacs -instead of being grabbed by Windows. This registers the key sequence as -a Windows hot key. + MS-Windows reserves certain key combinations, such as +@kbd{Alt-@key{TAB}}, for its own use. These key combinations are +intercepted by the system before Emacs can see them. You can use the +@code{w32-register-hot-key} function to allow a key sequence to be +seen by Emacs instead of being grabbed by Windows. This functions +registers a key sequence as a @dfn{hot key}, overriding the special +meaning of that key sequence for Windows. (MS-Windows is told that +the key sequence is a hot key only when one of the Emacs windows has +focus, so that the special keys still have their usual meaning for +other Windows applications.) - The argument to @code{w32-register-hot-key} must be a one element key -definition in vector form that would be acceptable to `define-key'. The -@code{meta} modifier is interpreted as @key{ALT} if `w32-alt-is-meta' is -@code{t}, and @code{hyper} is always interpreted as the Windows modifier -keys. The return value is the hotkey-id if registered, otherwise -@code{nil}. + The argument to @code{w32-register-hot-key} must be a single key, +with or without modifiers, in vector form that would be acceptable to +@code{define-key}. The meta modifier is interpreted as the @key{ALT} +key if @code{w32-alt-is-meta} is @code{t} (the default), and the hyper +modifier is always interpreted as the Windows key (usually labeled +with @key{start} and the Windows logo). If the function succeeds in +registering the key sequence, it returns the hotkey ID, a number; +otherwise it returns @code{nil}. -@kindex M-TAB @r{(MS-Windows)} +@kindex M-TAB@r{, (MS-Windows)} @cindex @kbd{M-@key{TAB}} vs @kbd{Alt-@key{TAB}} (MS-Windows) @cindex @kbd{Alt-@key{TAB}} vs @kbd{M-@key{TAB}} (MS-Windows) For example, @code{(w32-register-hot-key [M-tab])} lets you use -@kbd{M-TAB} normally in Emacs.
