Uh, I don't think there is any documentation about opening the menus in text
fields. At least there wasn't when release 1 went out. If you've found a
passage in which I said Windows key and clearly meant application key then
let me know so that I can give myself a good hard kick.
As an aside, I would never script the windows key on its own for anything.
The start menu is a fairly fundamental part of, well, Windows and
overwriting it would be pritty stupid.
I freely admit though that the milestone document makes a bit of a dog's
breakfast out of describing keystrokes which do involve the windows key. My
bad! Rest assured, this is being amended.

Kevin,
You are actually correct. The Windows key (to the right of the Alt key on
U.S. keyboards) is indeed not the correct key. The correct key is actually
called the "Applications" key and is two to the right of the Alt key on U.S.
keyboards.
And yes, there is another windows key off to the left, as well, but I don't
use it much. On the U.S. keyboard there is only one "Application" key two
keys right of the right-hand Alt key.
I just did this myself and duplicated your original problem.
Dan, the documentation needs to be corrected to "Application" key and not
"Windows" key.

Dan,
I'm in a brass quintet and, for some reason, when I press CTRL E for
Expression and then press the windows key to bring the menu up, I get the
start menu instead. I have to activate the expressions menu using my mouse
by hand.
Why?
It wasn't this way a few hours ago.
Kevin
