--- Comment #57 from Andre Miranda <[email protected]> --- What we have here is dilemma: the technical side that claims super key is a only modifier key, but open to please users if it can be done cleanly, without hacks. On the other hand, many users coming from Windows (including myself) frown upon this limitation and refuse get used to new shortcuts. The ksuperkey author summarizes why he created it and provides some reasons why the problem exists in first place: https://blog.hanschen.org/2012/10/17/open-application-launcher-with-super-key/ It's interesting to learn that KDE3 had a special handling for super key but was removed "because it was a hack and quite broken". In the next days, I hope to survey other DEs to check if they have any special handling for super key and how they accomplish it. But don't hold your breath waiting for me, anyone is free to propose different solutions (BIG's patch works well, but once xfsettings grabs super key, xfwm4 will not receive any events for bindings that use it as modifier). Meanwhile users should consider ksuperkey (or xcape itself). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Xfce-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://mail.xfce.org/mailman/listinfo/xfce-bugs
