Hi Daniel, Your workaround may not work for the super+P (video out switch event), because it is handled by gnome-settings-daemon. (of course technically it can be done, but that means we need to write a new program to do that)
And I want to know what has changed in 12.04 Unity with regard to the Super key, because the "Super+P" key sequence, which is sent by the video out hotkeys, has been working fine in 11.10 and before.

Then log out and in again. As long as no compiz plugin is bound to the single Super key any more, compiz will no longer block other apps from binding to Super+other_keys. WORKAROUND 2: 1. Write a script or figure out the command to do the action you want. 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. ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: Using : 12.04 Beta 1, updated. and Unity. In 11.10 clicking: - the function key (Fn) + (F1) allowed to switch between the laptop screen and the external monitor. After upgrading to 12.04 this no more works and instead I get an unexpected behavior: see the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vEnrV5TwXo System: Dell XPS 15 L502X ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: ubuntu-sso-client 2.99.90-0ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-18.28-generic 3.2.9 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-18-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 1.94.1-0ubuntu1 Architecture: amd64 Date: Thu Mar 8 19:18:42 2012 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Ocelot" - Release amd64 (20111012) PackageArchitecture: all SourcePackage: ubuntu-sso-client UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to precise on 2012-03-02 (6 days ago) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/950160/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
