Public bug reported:
I am unable to assign the Windows-Key (Super L) alone to an action in the
Keyboard Shortcuts Application (gnome-keybinding-properties) as previously
possible. I am only able to assign "MOD4+?" (windows key + another key). I
understand there was previously a bug #12153 where people were rightly upset
they couldn't assign the windows key in conjunction with another key to a
shortcut. Fixing this bug appears to have created another bug whereby now it
is impossible to assign the windows key alone using the gnome control panel.
There is no good reason why we should lose the ability to assign an action to
the windows key alone (Super L) if the user does not require any windows key
combination ("MOD4+?") keyboard shortcuts. Of course I am very happy using the
Windows key as a modifier is fixed (thank you) but this is not an either-or
situation and the old functionality is clearly broken. If you don't want to
think of it as Super_L is broken then please consider this bug as MOD4+NOTHING
is broken. In fact, if you think of this as MOD4+NOTHING is broken then you
can have both MOD4+? keyboard shortcuts and a MOD4+NOTHING shortcut as
MOD4+NOTHING is detected on key_up unlike Super_L which is detected on
key_down.
