I've been using the native W32 port of emacs for years.  I tried using
the native cygwin build of it and ran into a problem: I can't seem to
bind all key combinations.
- Alt+F3 (or Alt+any F-key) seem to have no effect at all.
- Ctrl+Alt+Shift+5:  I bind it using (global-set-key (kbd "C-M-%" ...),
but pressing Ctrl+Alt+Shift+5 results in emacs complaining that "M-[ 1 ;
8 u" is undefined.

Are you using emacs in the Cygwin console? If so, many key combinations won't work as you expect. This is documented in /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/emacs.README. You'll have better luck running emacs in mintty. Or for an interface that is more like the native Win32 build, run emacs under X11.
