Subject: 26.3; Emacs manual: please index Alt key for node User Input
Date: Thu, 21 Nov 2019 13:17:47 -0800 (PST)

There are index entries for the Alt key on MS Windows, but there is no
index entry for node `User Input', where it is mentioned in a general
context (not just MS Windows).  Please add an index entry for this.

These are the current index entries containing "alt" that refer to an
Alt key:

<Alt>-<TAB> vs M-<TAB> (MS-Windows)
<AltGr> key (MS-Windows)
Alt key (MS-Windows)
Alt key invokes menu (Windows)
AltGr (MS-Windows)
M-<TAB> vs <Alt>-<TAB> (MS-Windows)

ns-alternate-modifier
ns-right-alternate-modifier
w32-alt-is-meta
w32-pass-alt-to-system
w32-recognize-altgr

(I had to look for "meta" in the index to find the mention of the Alt
key in node `User Input'.)
