Here's another (better) workaround: 1. Write a script or figure out the command to do what you want the action to be. 2. Run ccsm. 3. Enable the "Commands" plugin 4. In the Commands settings, fill in the command line you want and bind it to key Super+P.
Now Unity will run your specified command on Super+P, but still handle the Super key as usual. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/950160 Title: Unity blocks other programs from receiving <super> key-press events.
