I am starting to think I see some bugs here. One, rathter trivial bug, concerns the documentation. It saysYes, it surely changes things. I can for example not type \ at all if I set this to nil. So setting this to nil gives me a completely new keyboard layout which I do not think is useful at all.Exactly. With `w32-recognize-altgr' set to nil there's no way I can type C-\, because there's no way I can type \ directly.
w32-recognize-altgr's value is t Recognize right-alt and left-ctrl as AltGr. When nil, the right-alt and left-ctrl key combination is interpreted normally. Defined in `C source code'.I can not see that left-ctrl works as AltGr. That is good, I would not want it to, but the doc string should be changed I believe.
The other, more serious thing, is that different keyboards seems to behave differently. They are not supposed to do that I guess. Or am I wrong for some reason?
Another serious problem, probably related to this, is that some key combinations, like C-@ are very hard or even impossible to type.
Maybe all this just relates to w32? Anyway it would be very good if it was fixed before release!
