I don't have the extra M$ window keys because I use an older Swedish keyboard, but I would be interested in how to map those keys anyway. Can it be done in .emacs or is it an X thing? I know I can (as Hrvoje points out) use ESC. In fact, that is what I do use when I need to do M-tab. It works but it is a bit inconvenient. -- Mats Löfdahl "Good luck.
