The problem is still there. I proposed a solution quite a while ago but it was decided that it was too close to next release of Emacs. In the mean time I have a patch for this which I and I believe others have been using since this summer. Go toI currently find myself having to use Windows/XP for a short while. My first action was to install cygwin and rebuild the latest CVS Emacs snapshot. Much to my chagrin, it would appear that the ancient Windows right Alt/Meta key problem still exists (the right Alt key is NOT a Meta modifier key as is the left one). I searched the devel archives and it would appear that either I missed the solution or it is still an unsolved problem. Is it possible that there is still no easy solution (editing the registry does not qualify as an easy solution, IMHO)? If so, could someone please state or provide a reference to the issues so I can decide which of the problem or the cure is the more painful to me.
http://ourcomments.org/Emacs/EmacsW32.htmlto find out more about my patch. You can find binaries there with and without this patch. Last patched version is from 2005-12-18 (there is actually one from 12-25 too I believe but I have not had time to move it to its final location yet).
