Re: [h-e-w] How to use the menubar with keyboard?

Jeff,

thanks for the information. But my problem remains: it's not even nearly
possible to push Alt-F for file menu. Besides, I can't find where to
reconfigure the menu bar!  The main menu bar seems to be hardcoded to
emacs.exe. (But I was unable to find it with a resource editor.) I
experimented a little by changing the string "Options" to "O&tions" in the
executable, which gave me a nice underlining ("O_t_ions"). I'd be happy to
enter the accelerators to the source myself, if I ever them... Maybe I'll
have to look at the sources again.

The other problem:

I tried all combinations of "(setq w32-alt-is-meta nil)" and/or "(setq
w32-pass-alt-to-system t)", but the Alt key still seems to be intercepted
by Emacs, since Alt-T doesn't open my custom "Otions" menu. Alt-F4
or Alt-Space don't work either. I thought that w32-pass-alt-to-system
should make them work, but apparently it doesn't.

So, I'm still quite far from the standard Windows menu behavior.
