    <p>I am trying to learn Emacs and trying to find best keyboard layout for me. One thing is really annoying me. I have added following lines to .emacs</p> <pre class="lang-lisp prettyprint-override"><code>(global-set-key "\C-y" 'scroll-up) (global-set-key "\M-y" 'scroll-down) </code></pre> <p>When I hold <kbd>Control</kbd> and press <kbd>y</kbd> a few times, it will page down on every press of <kbd>y</kbd>.</p> <p><strong>However</strong>, when I hold the <kbd>Windows</kbd> key (mapped as <kbd>Meta</kbd>) and press <kbd>y</kbd> a few times it will only page up on the <strong>first</strong> press of <kbd>y</kbd> and all subsequent presses of <kbd>y</kbd> I get the ‘y’ character inserted in the buffer.</p> <p>Can the page up behave like page down? I want to hold <kbd>Meta</kbd> and keep pressing <kbd>y</kbd> to scroll multiple pages up.</p> <p>I am using GNU Emacs 23.0.60.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2008-05-12 on LENNART-69DE564 (patched). It is Emacs with EmacsW32 patch. Is this problem with this Emacs? Problem with Meta key?</p> <p>I tried original GNU Emacs (not patched) and it works OK with <kbd>Alt</kbd>. But my problem is not that I want to scroll without releasing any key. I release key <kbd>y</kbd> and press it multiple times but don't want to have to release <kbd>Meta</kbd> key. Same problem is described here:</p> <p><a href="http://groups.google.com/group/gnu.emacs.help/browse_thread/thread/f30f4b75a8b75b10" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://groups.google.com/group/gnu.emacs.help/browse_thread/thread/f30f4b75a8b75b10</a></p> <p>Problem is not in that I have changed key mapping. It looks like it is a bug in EmacsW32 version. Here is another description of the problem: <a href="http://www.nabble.com/23.0.60--Unreleased-Meta-Win-modifier-td19213327.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Unreleased Meta/Win modifier</a></p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
