I use Keytweak (and rearranged keycaps for Dvorak and a bilaterally symmetrical modifier key layout [bottom row: super alt ctl spacebar ctl alt super hyper] and I haven't run into any problems with it yet. I am not using EmacsW32 although I have had it installed in the past. The only things that get through from the OS when I'm in Emacs are Alt-Tab and Ctl-Alt-Delete.I do not remember very well any longer since I use the patched version where this can not happen (if you tell Emacs to protect you from it). However it could happen with any of those lwindow/rwindow combinations that MS Window uses. I know I first noticed it with lwindow-e.Though it might depend on other things too. The only thing I know is that it is not guaranteed to work at all if you are not using the patches I have in Emacs+EmacsW32. (I mean accordning to the specs from MS.)If you want to know more then look at MS for LowLevelKeyboardProc.That is why I have those patches. And by the way those part of the patches does not change Emacs way of workin in any other way. They work on a lower level that the rest of Emacs does not see.If I remember correctly now there is however no guaranteed way at all to stop Alt-Tab and Ctl-Alt-Delete from working.
Thanks again. Besides S-e, S- r,f,m, and d, both right and left, also raise the OS. That should be easy to remember. Since I don't want to bother disabling those keychords I will make a virtue of necessity and consider the behavior to be a feature rather than a bug. These reserved keys almost make a mnemonic:
