This is for the same reason that Ctrl, Alt, or Shift cannot be assigned to an action by themselves. The Windows, or "Super" key is generally considered a modifier just like the aforementioned Ctrl, Alt, and etc.
On the other hand, Windows does manage to use the Win key to open the start menu, while still retaining its use as a modifier in shortcuts such as Win+R, Win+D, etc. So perhaps this could be considered a wishlist item. ** Package changed: yelp (Ubuntu) => gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) -- Ubuntu (Win) key cannot be programed to open Ubuntu Menu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/485084 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
