I've been using windows for 8 years and linux for about 3 yers and the first
and most anoyng thing to do after a linux fresh install is to change winkey to
show Applications Menu.
Those who don't like the win logo should erase from the keyboard (as I've done)

WIN key SUPER_L should be
Interestingly , with gnome 3 , the Win key does now infact open the
applications menu, by default.
Now is it still forbidden in gnome 2... ;)
We might not expect a change upstream with gnome 3 in the horizon.
But , since Lucid is LTS , [considering that gnome 3 will be using the win key
too]
What do you mean by gnome 3? GNOME 2.29? Has upstream really changed
this? I find that hard to believe. We should absolutely not change that
behaviour, and particularly not now.
I don't understand the desire for a Windows Mode in Ubuntu.

I add my vote to the idea to allow the use of the Super key both as a
single key (to open the application menu) AND as modifier (Super+D to
minimize all application, Super+R for Run dialog windows, etc.).
Still Antonio Roberts and others are right about users with different
need than the Windows
Earlier, when I wanted to change my shortcuts and started by pressing
Super_L (and was going to press E for open home folder), it said Super_L
and didn't allow a Super_L + ... I had to change some settings (make
Super a meta key I think) to get it to work.
I recently did a fresh install of Karmic
I think forcing the keyboard to act like a Windows one is a bad idea.
With that said I can see why it could annoy people.
Could there be an option for people to set their keyboard to a Windows
keyboard i.e. an option to remap the keys to Windows' defaults and
resolve any conflicts at the press of

I feel that a change like this is one that is likely to aggravate as
many people as the existing problem does.As has been shown by the
numerous ubuntu users on this bug and its duplicate, whilst new users do
expect the windows key to pop-up a start menu many of our existing users
would find it
This suggestion goes well beyond a papercut, but here goes anyway.
Pass this to the team handling the Migration tool that runs during the
install process.
As it stands the migration tool imports users bookmarks, wallpapers,
files etc from whatever other OS's it detects.
Why not create a script
Honestly, I think autodetection would be a terrible way to do it. It
would be confusing for the user if they switched to a new, cleanly-
loaded machine and found the behaviour different, and difficult for a
technician used to different keyboard shortcuts. It might be better to
do like SuSE did
Samuel, you are absolutely right, that would be a much more straight
forward method.

Also extremely useful would be Super+E, which, on Windows, opens Windows
Explorer to My Documents under XP and the user's C:\Users directory
under Vista (IIRC; don't quote me on that). Presumably, the appropriate
action under Gnome/Linux would be to open to the user's home directory.
Here's
I'd agree that this should be changed. I use Windows every day at work
and when I get home and start using Ubuntu find myself pressing:
Windows R - to run an application (which ends up zooming in the screen for some
reason)
Windows D - to minimise windows
Windows L - to lock applications
Personally, I think this is the right thing to do. It won't break the *default*
behavior, and if anyone has mapped it to anything else, it should remain that
way.
I'm cautious to confirm it though, since upstream has marked it as
invalid/won't fix.

Right now, is there a way to map Super_L to open the application menu
*and* be usable in two-key shortcuts (e.g. Super_L+D to minimize
windows), *without* modifying source code?
If so, it would make sense to make this default in Ubuntu.

Paul, please read comments in bug 161960, the key would still function
properly as a modifier (and used for the menu only when released alone).
It's a severe thing, as many many of Ubuntu users come from the platform
where Super_L is used that way, and Alt-F1 is really not easily
discoverable.

Isn't this supposed to be for fixing annoyances. Yes it's relatively
easy to reconfigure this, in fact it's one of the first things I change
after an install. The fact remains that the expected behaviour for
the vast majority of new users is that that key open the main menu. I
don't care that
Making this change would break more than it would 'fix' as you either
have to choose to use the Super key to open the applications menu or
choose it to be a modifier for a large number of other actions.
Currently the code does not support both and it would not be a trivial
change to fix this so

First, this isn't a bug. Second, the SUPER key not being mapped to
anything allows it to be used as a modifier key without worring if
something else is already using it. Linux is not Windows, as well, and
I don't see any benefit to changing this.

SUPER_L is mappable already, but the choices of what to map it to
(Applications menu or whatever) is rather a GNOME thing. Reassigning to

Wow this is old. I'd forgotten I'd posted this...
@Phanton: You're right, but anyone who wants to use it must know how to
change keyboard shortcuts - so the fact that it's already assigned to
something won't be a problem for them. So it's a plus for switchers from
windows without being a minus
I agree with Duncan (and this bug/wishlist item).
It would be really useful to have Windows buttons assigned to the menu.
It seems to be a common annoyance that it isn't.
Surely the user could always map it to something else Phantom? I can't
see how a default mapping would be worse for the user.
I'm against that idea. Button without default action is a good button to
assign somewhere. It doesn't conflict with anything (ex: compiz
functions).
