Super button with xbindkeys? about jumpapp HOT 7 CLOSED

That did it, thanks! I set panel-main-menu in org/gnome/desktop/wm/keybindings to ['<Ctrl>onehalf'], since the Esc button used to close is just above. EDIT: I changed it to ['Super_R'], it is closer to the original set up, after all :)

Update: I found a great solution using xcape, allowing me to have either Super key open the overlay: https://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?pid=49054#p49054

I am not using xbindkeys right now but it the past versions of Ubuntu, Mod2 worked for me.

Ex: Shift+Mod2+Mod4 + KP_9 = Shift + with Num lock on + Super + keypad 9

xmodmap helped me

$ xmodmap
xmodmap:  up to 3 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):

shift       Shift_L (0x32),  Shift_R (0x3e)
lock        ISO_Next_Group (0x5e)
control     Control_L (0x25),  Control_R (0x69)
mod1        Alt_L (0x40),  Meta_L (0xcd)
mod2        Num_Lock (0x4d)
mod3        ISO_Level5_Shift (0xcb)
mod4        Super_L (0x85),  Super_L (0xce),  Hyper_L (0xcf)
mod5        ISO_Level3_Shift (0x5c)

Thanks @e3rd, that was really helpful. I almost got there, but it seems like if I map mod4 + f (left or right Super + "f") it only works for the right side Super key (Super_R) not the left side. Super_L seems locked to opening the applications in Ubuntu. I found this work-around, but it seems like too much work :)

$ xmodmap

mod1        Alt_L (0x40),  Meta_L (0xcd)
mod2        Num_Lock (0x4d)
mod3      
mod4        Super_L (0x85),  Super_R (0x86),  Super_L (0xce),  Hyper_L (0xcf)
mod5        ISO_Level3_Shift (0x5c),  Mode_switch (0xcb)

I understand. However if you do not mind to change the opening shorcut, you may use dconf-editor and set another shortcut than <Super> in panel-main-menu (at org/gnome/desktop/wm/keybindings). My preferred combination is I.E.: panel-main-menu=['<Ctrl>semicolon']

Have a nice day!

Thanks for the tip! What is strange, is that the definition for panel-main-menu was empty. I tried changing it to your suggestion, which worked fine. Yet, pressing the Left Super key still shows the activities overview ...

You want to change or disable org/gnome/mutter/overlay-key :)
