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] , Ubuntu 10.04 will be the odd one out for a very long time.

[Bug 54024] Re: WIN key SUPER_L should be mapped to Applications menu
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 behavior; so it will be better to set it as a possible keyboard profile configurable in the control panel (... wasn't already so in older Kubuntu releases with KDE 3.X?). -- WIN key SUPER_L should be mapped to Applications menu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/54024 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 54024] Re: WIN key SUPER_L should be mapped to Applications menu
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 irritating. Just saying that users are capable of removing the change isn't an effective argument against their disagreement. The key is already used in compiz for many shortcuts and is also remapped by many users to a variety of tasks, for people who use it in this way making it do something else is sort of a papercut in itself. The applications menu is by default pretty prominently placed at the top of the screen. There are few distractions from it after a clean install, it has a colourful image next to it and says 'Applications' next to it - I think this is clue enough that this is the 'Start Menu' equivalent. So arguments saying that this would help new users work out what to do given the live cd or a clean install is nonsensical. Many people have posted on the other bug that the Super_L key is labelled start a lot of the time. I would like to say that as a UK user it does not say 'Start' on many keyboards over here and in fact has a large Windows flag on it. So the issue boils down to whether the Super_L key is a more effective shortcut key for the menu. Hitting the Super_L key requires the user to move their whole hand down the keyboard to touch type it whereas Alt-F1 simply involves moving the thumb and raising the fourth finger - so in my opinion the existing combo is more convenient - but I'm not a useability expert, either way I don't think the difference is that great. The argument for 'one key is better than two' is not all that convincing and we don't use the F4 key to terminate an application and many common keyboard symbols are implemented as key-combos. Users are very used to this way of working. A compromise could be a mention of the existing key combo after the initial install or upon a LiveCD boot - another option would be to take advantage of the new notify-osd onscreen messages. Having a tap of the windows key display a one time message on the screen for a short period of time informing the user of the Alt-F1 alternative would not disturb existing users but would effectively inform new users. -- WIN key SUPER_L should be mapped to Applications menu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/54024 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 54024] Re: WIN key SUPER_L should be mapped to Applications menu
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 that runs as part of the migration tool to make minor adjustments to Ubuntu based on the OS that the user is migrating from. Basically, if Windows is detected, and files are imported, then the windows key should be mapped to the Applications menu. Firefox's address bar should be set to select the entire contents etc. There are many more examples The same goes for Mac users (I'm just not familiar with the setup) This would solve a huge amount of stress for new users and remove an awful lot of but I can do that in Windows bug reports.

[Bug 54024] Re: WIN key SUPER_L should be mapped to Applications menu
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 (does?) and prompt the user to select a set of keyboard shortcuts on account creation, and then add an option somewhere so it could be changed or checked later. That way, the user can select what basic set of keyboard shortcuts they want (Windows-style, OS X-style, Gnome-style, or KDE-style) from a clearly-labeled dialog, and there'll be less risk of confusion at a later date. BTW, Elliott, in North America, most keyboards here are labeled with a Windows flag as well, although some newer keyboards, primarily those on laptops, have a Vista-style flag-in-a-circle emblem. --- Samuel -- WIN key SUPER_L should be mapped to Applications menu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/54024 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

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 another idea: Super be mapped to the Applications menu, and the other expected shortcuts (Super+R, Super+D, etc.) be mapped to Ctrl+Alt+R, Ctrl+Alt+D, etc. Might that fit better, seeing as it's already been done for a few things?

[Bug 54024] Re: WIN key SUPER_L should be mapped to Applications menu
Currently I have it set up so that when I press the Super key, all windows are minimized. This is ONLY because it is not possible to create a keyboard shortcut like Super+D (which would be the Windows equivalent to minimizing all windows and focusing on the desktop). Thus, I think this is just a wishlist item and not a real papercut bug. What I, and probably many others too, would like is the ability to create keyboard shortcuts that use the Super key as a combo key (like Super+D to minimize all windows, Super+L to lock the screen etc.). Why couldn't we just make all the standard Windows shortcuts the same on Ubuntu? I don't know about you guys, but after using Windows for many many years you grow used to hitting Windows+D to minimize your open windows, and when that same command doesn't work in Ubuntu, you get frustrated. On top of that, the fact that you CANNOT mimic the same behaviour is even more frustrating.
