Hi, I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 normally with all my Compiz and applications shortcuts dependent of my Windows key. Suddenly it stop working after a normal system restart, I can't working without my shortcuts because I have two monitors and two desktops. It works if is pressed in a "single mode", but I can't do any combination with other keys. I looking for this issue and found a similar thread, but without solution too. When I execute xev and press the Super key:
KeyPress event, serial 32, synthetic NO, window 0x4a00001, root 0x105, subw 0x0, time 9954037, (341,-394), root:(349,420), state 0x10, keycode 133 (keysym 0xff20, Multi_key), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: True KeyRelease event, serial 35, synthetic NO, window 0x4a00001, root 0x105, subw 0x0, time 9954086, (341,-394), root:(349,420), state 0x10, keycode 133 (keysym 0xff20, Multi_key), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False When I execute xmodmap

Here are some things you can do to see what, if any, key assignments currently exist:

1. System, Preferences, Keyboard Shortcuts
2,

xmodmap -pke | grep "Super"

3. Open gconf-editor and look for Super key assignments (you could also assign key combos in the /apps/metacity section):

gconf-editor
Do a search for Super key assignments: Edit, Find, "Super", tick the "Search also in key values".

4. CompizConfig Settings Manager: General, Keybindings. Check for any Super/Windows key assignments.

Hi and thanks for the answer.

This is my output


maiko@maiko-laptop:~$ xmodmap -pke | grep "Super"
keycode 134 = Super_R NoSymbol Super_R NoSymbol Super_R
keycode 206 = NoSymbol Super_L NoSymbol Super_L NoSymbol Super_L
maiko@maiko-laptop:~$
My gconf-editor and ccsm are fully of shortcuts with <Super>char.

See a screen-shot of gconf-editor in attachments.

bye.
