Yes, KeyRelease events are ok. What leads me to this assumption is
that, when I remove Alt (Mod1) from modifier list, the Alt+TAB
switching behave same as Win+TAB (wrongly). And - when I remove&add
mod4 using command:
xmodmap -e "clear mod4" -e "add mod4 = Super_L"
switching with Win+TAB works correctly. After this command the keycode
0x73 is included in mapping:
$ xmodmap | grep mod4
mod4 Super_L (0x73), Super_L (0x7f)
But this is not "system solution". I would rather solve it system
wide, perhaps with correct setting of xkb (in xorg.conf
probably). After more digging in /usr/share/X11/xkb I found file
symbols/altwin where is defined:
xkb_symbols "super_win" {
key <LWIN> { [ Super_L ] };
key <RWIN> { [ Super_R ] };
modifier_map Mod4 { Super_L, Super_R };
};
This looks good but I have trouble to activate it. I mostly end up
with "dead" keyboard. I'm trying something like this:
setxkbmap -layout us -symbols pc+us+altwin -variant super_win
Does anybody know how to activate this "super_win" setting?
