M-C-SPACE does not work on windows 10.

[peterwang]

I am using Racket 8.2 on windows 10, M-C-SPACE does not select forward S-expression, instead, it pops the window system menu because Alt+Space conflicts with M-C-SPACE. I'd like to know if there is any work-around of this? I think it should be possible, since in Emacs (on windows), C-M-SPC works just fine. Thanks.

As a general rule, it is a bad idea to steal a key combination used by the GUI.

An alternative binding is needed, but I haven't got a concrete suggestion.

Is anything showing up, if search for forward in the active key bindings? (See the "Edit" menu in DrRacket) [image: image.png]

The same menu offers a way to add your own key binding as a temporary fix.

Thanks for your reply.

There are actually several alternatives in the active key bindings. Shift + Ctrl + Alt + F works for me, better than nothing :-)
