_saiko, Try not to hijack the thread next time :).
From what I can see, you could have a problem in how the keys are
mapped.
Your Super_L and Super_R may not be listed as modifiers but rather as
regular keys [1]. You should take a look at xmodmap.
For example:
~ % xmodmap
xmodmap: up to 3 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):
shift Shift_L (0x32), Shift_R (0x3e)
lock Caps_Lock (0x42)
control Control_L (0x25), Control_R (0x6d)
mod1 Alt_L (0x40), Alt_R (0x71), Meta_L (0x9c)
mod2 Num_Lock (0x4d)
mod3
mod4 Super_L (0x7f), Hyper_L (0x80)
mod5 Mode_switch (0x5d), ISO_Level3_Shift (0x7c)
Here, modifier 4 is assigned to the Super_L and Hyper_L keys.
Another way to check this out is to look at the output of xev and fix
your .Xmodmap accordingly [2].
For example:
~ % xev
[ press the Super_L key ]
KeyPress event, serial 25, synthetic NO, window 0x1400001,
root 0x59, subw 0x0, time 4312820, (223,747), root:(224,764),
state 0x0, keycode 115 (keysym 0xffeb, Super_L), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
Here, we can see that Super_L has the keycode 115 so we can map it
accordingly in our .Xmodmap
echo "keycode 115 = Super_L" >> ~/.Xmodmap
Hope this helped you out.
Sincerely,
Antony Jepson.
