Well, I just opened a command window on my laptop (XP Pro), ran a command in it, hit Alt-F4 and (a) the window vanished and (b) it's not showing up on the task list. So either I killed it or I banished it to a parallel universe. :-) I haven't tried this on XP Home, though.
As far as I know, I do not have ny sort of remapping or crazy application running in the background. All apps but cmd.exe and lyx.exe respond to
Alt-F4.
Using cua.bind, Alt-F3, F4, Alt-4 all can be mapped to kill lyx but not
Alt-F4.
crazy. If you have any other ideas to try out, let me know. Thanks!
Well, if it works in other apps, then it presumably has not been remapped, so I'm at a loss as to what is going on. Are your machines set up to use a non-English code page? (I'm groping in the dark here.) /Paul
I'm having the same issue on XP Pro. Neither Lyx 1.4.1 or cmd.exe are killed with alt-f4, while all other apps are. -John
