Thanks Martin, it does. That is not the problem. I use a slightly 
patched version of Emacs where this works very good (with the windows 
keys as META instead).

I am just trying to see what can be done to enhance "cross-platform 
usability". Since w32 still is the by far most common platform for the 
users I believe we should think of how to avoid making it a burdon 
switching from that platform to GNU/Linux.
