And I've used it for accessing the system menu for ages. Don't know where I 
picked it up, though. Windows 2.x, perhaps, or Turbo Pascal. The reflex is 
ancient, used to be useful when using window managers that couldn't map 
maximize to a key, but apparently is right now hiding a lot of functionality 
from me. I'll unset it right now!
