Vim sits on _top_ of OS, so it's unlikely that Vim can modify a keypress
event and send it to OS. That would require Vim to sit in the _middle_
of the keypress event and the OS.

I'm doubtful you want that, though. You probably want to map a key in
Vim. This assumption is supported by your example.

Vim cannot map Windows keys. But you can look through online help sites,
e.g., vi.stackexchange.com, to see if anyone has come up with a
workaround.
