RE: Remap Ctrl-Esc?

Rafe,

Removing the 1=KF line under CTRL in the keyboard file seems to make no
differece in my ability to call the task bar under Win 3.1. I presume the
same would be true for OS/2. I suspect the OS simply grabs that combination
as its own. I'm not sure what the function KF does. It isn't documented in
the XyWin manual; the function list in the menus says "redirect the keyboard
to XyWrite". Anyone?

BTW, you can also use Alt-Tab to toggle back to the OS/2 desktop when
running XyWin full screen. That (for me) is easier on the wrist than
Ctrl-Esc.

I think I've wanted to do this for years but before I give
up altogether let me pose it here: I am quite happy using my
primary Xywrite session fullscreen, but it's aggravating to
have to use ctrl-esc to go out to the OS -- with the left
hand, it is very uncomfortable (after the fourth time in a
day my wrist actually gets sore), and with two hands it
takes too long if you're in a hurry. Anyway, while I'm
resigned to not being able to use a keyboard macro in a
fullscreen session without a tsr, it would be nice to be
able to simply jump into OS/2 or whatever opsys with some
other keystroke. Obviously <##>=kf isn't by itself
sufficient; but I wondered whethere there's a command by
which <##> can be forced to invoke Ctrl-Esc?
