You can check this by using X11/xev and pressing the key. On my English PC keyboard, the left Windows key produces keycode 115. I can disable it by putting the following line in ~/.xinitrc since I use startx(1): xmodmap -e keycode 115= If you use xdm(1) or similar display manager, then you want to put that line in ~/.xsession Don't worry about having an xmodmaprc. You'll obviously need to restart X for the change to take effect. Or just run it from a prompt for it to have an immediate effect.

After all that advice, one last piece remains - buy another keyboard;-) On 7/6/08, Girish Kulkarni [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Is there any way I could disable the Windows key on my keyboard?
