Remap the "Windows" key to open Gnome Terminal.

OK, so, the way I thought of it was correct after all. Gnome 3 describes the version of the user interface and Gnome-Shell describes what the interface is made of that is not in user space.

Thanks for helping with that. I can't learn enough fast enough about this stuff!

Urm you have the concept but it's the other way round, Gnome-Shell is the user interface Gnome3 is the behind-the-scenes structure

Well, I have pretty much given up on this for now. I have been trying to figure this out for 3 weeks and I haven't been able to find any definitive information. Please post if you know the answer.

Hmm, umpteen responses and not a single soul with the correct answer.

You need to read the xbindkeys and xmodmap man pages. With those two, you can do anything.

Oh, and xev.

Sounds like a good idea. I'll try that out! Thanks!

Now if only Unity had any usability to sacrifice...
