I cannot tell you how many times I have been holding down the Alt key and accidently pressed tab to cycle through to the nearest enemy!
Picture yourself here. You and your party are in a heated battle, your life is low, you press tab to toggle through to the next enemy. BOOM! Hello desktop!
Come back and you are dead.
It would be so helpful if you could disable the Alt+tab, Alt+ Enter, and windows key when you are playing GW.
Alt+Tab, Alt+Enter, and the Windows key.

I'll second that request. I tend not to use tab, but that annoying windows key is awful! I mean it sits there, it does nothing. You never use it for anything for any reason ever, and the only thing it has ever accomplished since Microsoft first introduced it is kick people out of their games!
So I'm /signing that, and also /signing the petition to murder Mircrosoft chairmen.

"press alt+f4 to see enemy stats"
you need to be able to disable alt+f4 (that would be the default), so that this kind of thing stopped happening...

Window mode is the best.

Get a screwdriver and slip it in between the keyboard and the Window's key and pry the button out. You can replace it when you're done playing, I have done this many times. Also since my brother can't type well I've swapped some of the keys around like N and M. Lol, it really screws with people.

Alt+tab is every multitasker's friend. I use it all the time to switch to something else while I'm not doing anything in GW. I've never had a problem with it, since alt just shows friendlies in the area and ctrl shows enemies?
I use the Windows key as a quick minimize when I want to do something else as well. Also useful to start opening programs when you have GW running in a window and not having to minimize it to the desktop. Never pressed it accidentally ever.
Alt+enter, never had a problem with that? Under what circumstances would you need to press that combination other than fullscreen/window?

Not everyone uses Guild Wars and Guild Wars alone while they're on the computer, so screw that. I regularly use MSN messenger and AIM while listening to music and playing GW, so no. Definitely not signed.
EDIT : Yeah, and i took out my windows keys ages ago too :P

My problem is I have a laptop. Their keyboads are quite condensed. The alt, ctrl, and windows keys are all right next too each other (as in, no gap between each other).
To apple, that is why it is an OPTION! You don't have to enable it. Just give us people who like it the abilty to do it.

Luckily now that Logitech has started to acually make "gamer" keyboards, there are functions to disable such combos directly in the keyboard.
Also those are made with alot of other helpfull things,
like G-keys (G comes after F right?)
anyway, like those who cant afford that, wich btw isnt to cheap,
I also would like to se this fixed in the game... !
But also I tend to run several applications at the same time so without alt-tab im screwed >_<

An option to disable any of the keyboard combos would be really nice (granted I have not had any problems with it since I started playing, but that windows key does get hit every once in a blue moon, and always when I am playing PvP )
)
