Linux Mint 13 Xfce - Use Super_L in multiple shortcuts

view full story
linux-howto

http://unix.stackexchange.com – I'm using the XfApplet for integrating the mintMenu into my Mint Xfce installation. As shortcut I defined Super_L which works fine. Additionally I want to define a shortcut <Super_L>r to execute gnome-terminal. Unfortunately the Super_L keystroke gets interpreted and consumed early so that the mintMenu appears and types r into the search field. Is it possible to configure that both shortcuts Super_L and <Super_L>r work properly? (HowTos)

Stories similar to Linux Mint 13 Xfce - Use Super_L in multiple shortcuts

I've found one of the odd things I've missed the most since switching from OS X to Arch is using the command button for my keyboard shortcuts, rather than the control button.  My solution to swap the functionality of these keys was to use xmodmap for remapping and a custom .desktop file for automatically executing a command when Gnome starts.Here are the relevant files:/etc/X11/xini

D'Oh.  Sorry, I assumed it would be simpler.  That is quite an odd design ("odd" being a bit of a euphemism).I'm not sure if there is any way to do this well.  presumably it'd have be be at a 'lower level' than I'm acquainted with.  Perhaps some fancy kernel/driver hacking could do it, but it hardly seems practical.One very ugly work arou

I just installed Fedora 11 on my PC and can't seem to get the Win key to work at all :( I tried putting entries in xmodmap, tried modifying xorg.conf, and also tried setting altwin:super_win in the config settings. But nothing seems to work. Somehow, my Win key seems to be working as Meta instead of Super. From emacs, if I press Win+x, it works like Meta+x.

Thanks! That's work.And if I want to change Caps Lock (it's my language switcher) - to, for expample, left win-key - it's need to change 66 on 133 (keycode of Super_L)?UPD: After experiments, I decide to unset .Xmodmap, cos break Alt-Tab)) At home, I will explore it more..

About 1 week ago, I installed MATE desktop (Gnome2 fork) because I wanted to use XMonad in gnome. So I am pretty sure this problem has something to do with MATE.

My keyboard is just a basic HP keyboard (US layout); it doesn't have any specialised media/audio keys.

Hi Everyone,

I am hoping someone out there can help with this issue in Ubuntu 11.10 running Gnome3-shell. Here is the synopsis.

I recently bought a Logitech M705 Mouse and want to get the thumb button (b:10) to act as the super key. I have the following line in my .xbindkeysrc.

#Activities Button "xte 'key Super_L'" b:10

but is doesn't seem to work.

Hi,

Xfce's Keyboard Properties doesn't recognize all the buttons on my keyboard. Thus, to set all keys I edit shortcuts manually. Unfortunately, the only way I know of refreshing the shortcuts once I'm done is to restart Xfce.
