Create own ALT+H mapping, disabling the help menu

[Jeri Raye]

Hi,

I would like to make a mapping to
ALT+H.
But this brings up the help menu in gvim on windows 7, as the H from
Help is the underlined key (don't know the right terminology)
Can you disable this in gvim, so that I can create my own ALT+H mapping?

Rgds,
Jeri

Yes, have a look at ":h 'winaltkeys'".

Hi
I've put this line in mu vimrc
set winaltkeys=no

But the window still responds on an ALT key.
Why's that?

While I'm not sure WHY it happens, my usual solution is just to
run without the menu ;-)

   :set guioptions-=m

I don't really lose much functionality (menus usually just
replicate functionality available from the Ex prompt), and it
gives me an extra line or two of content-height.

-tim

Can it be a compiler options when gvim was compiled?

For full screen I use the shell.vim plugin
