** Description changed: - Binary package hint: xkeyboard-config - - Seems that, although mapped correctly, the Super key no longer works as - a modifier key in keyboard shortcuts for Gnome/Gtk apps. + Seems that, although mapped correctly, as of Ubuntu 10.04 the Super key + no longer works as a modifier key in keyboard shortcuts for Gnome/Gtk + apps. Very detailed description here: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/110098 - Steps to test ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1) Open gedit 2) Go to Edit > Preferences > Plugins and enable the Snippets plugin 3) Click 'Configure Plugin' 4) In the Snippets manager, create a new snippet under 'Global'. - Enter your name in the 'Edit' box. - In 'Tab trigger' field, type the letter n. - Click the Shortcut key field, and then hold down the Super (Win) key and n. Shortcut assigned should read 'Super+N'. - Close the Snippets manager and the Preferences dialog. + Enter your name in the 'Edit' box. + In 'Tab trigger' field, type the letter n. + Click the Shortcut key field, and then hold down the Super (Win) key and n. Shortcut assigned should read 'Super+N'. + Close the Snippets manager and the Preferences dialog. 5) Create a new document. In the editor, type the letter n and hit the tab key. You should see your name appear. That means the snippets are working. 6) In the editor, hold the Super key and then hit the n key. You should simply see the letter n. Additional details ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Have tested this on both Kubuntu 10.04 and UNR 10.04. On both machines, the shortcut keys above worked as expected in K/Ubuntu 9.10, but broke upon upgrade to 10.04 (one machine was upgraded, one fresh-installed). Have also installed openSUSE via Virtualbox to test this, and it works as expected there, so I've got to assume it's an Ubuntu-specific problem. FWIW, the output of xmodmap and xev testing are basically identical across all three systems.
