Re: Can keyboard assignment use Windows key?

[David Rosenthal davidrosenthal@xxxxxxxx]

You can use Windows+ in autohotkey to do anything you'd like. Autohotkey can be active in XyW III+, so I assume in less antiquated versions. So I assume you can get the Windows key as an additional shift key that way.

And autohotkey is in any case terrific and works well with XyW.
