Ctrl-Alt-letter keys may be preempted by the OS, or they may trigger a menu. When you type :verbose set wak? what is the answer? Oh, and 7.3.046 is already old hat: for W32 I recommend the "Vim without Cream" distribution, available as gvim-<version>.exe (a self-installer, currently for 7.3.289) at http://sourceforge.net/projects/cream/files/ Best regards, Tony. -- Only through hard work and perseverance can one truly suffer. ============================================ Hi Tony, Thanks for the quick response! I had already discovered the issue with menu interference, so I have set winaltkeys=no from my vimrc. This problem does seem a little conspicuous to me, since it is not just some keys, but _every_ key. GVIM is only responding to <M-C-k> if k is an arrow key, or some other control key like <BS>,<Del>,<Ins>. I will upgrade as you suggested, and see if that helps... Thanks again. -WES -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
