The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Visual C++, versions 4.0, 4.1 
- Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Enterprise Edition, versions 4.2, 5.0 
- Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Professional Edition, versions 4.2, 5.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

You cannot assign editor functions to the following keys when you click
Customize on the Tools menu, and then click the Keyboard tab in Visual C++,
versions 4.x:

- TAB
- SHIFT+TAB
- ENTER
- BACKSPACE
- ALT+BACKSPACE
- CTRL+BACKSPACE

Visual C++, versions 5.0 and 6.0, can customize all of these keys except
BACKSPACE.

Any attempt to use restricted keys results in the default dialog/editor
functionality.

STATUS
======

This bug was corrected in Microsoft Visual C++, version 6.0.
