You are right. SCANCODE_CHAR_LWIN and SCANCODE_CHAR_RWIN actually does
work, if you are running RDP5. When I tried these scancodes long ago, RDP=
5
wasn't implemented...

I've commited some patches that uses SCANCODE_CHAR_LWIN and=20
SCANCODE_CHAR_RWIN if you are running RDP5, otherwise the Ctrl-Esc hack=20
will be used, just like before.=20

Thanks for your help.=20
