Description

I am using Racket 8.2 on windows 10, M-C-SPACE does not select forward S-expression, instead, it pops the window system menu because Alt+Space conflicts with M-C-SPACE. I'd like to know if there is any work-around of this? I think it should be possible, since in Emacs (on windows), C-M-SPC works just fine. Thanks.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the M-C-SPACE shortcut conflict in DrRacket 8.2 on Windows 10 and confirm that Alt+Space opens the window system menu instead of selecting the forward S-expression. Done means the shortcut selects the forward S-expression without opening the window system menu.
