Super key doesn't work

I have installed Crunchbang 9.04.01, and it works great so far. My only problem is that my super key doesnt work for some reason.

Has anyone had this problem before? And any way to fix it?

Re: Super key doesn't work

LOL I have never even tried it because I don't know what the "Super" key is! I thought it was the Shift key and tried it, but that ain't it, and it ain't the cntrl key, and I don't even want to try that "Windows" key (even though I covered it up with a tiny little Ubuntu sticker)! I can't even identify the Super key, LOL. Total n00b here...

The Super key is the Windows key (or on macs, it is that wee funny key)

Re: Super key doesn't work

Well DixieDancer heres a surprise for you, the Super key is the Windows key.

@YaManickill - you could remap a different key to act in place of the Super key:

Otherwise you can change the shortcuts (edit the rc.xml file) so they don't use the Super key.

LOL, it's no trouble now that I've covered up that stupid Windows logo with a teensy weensy Ubuntu sticker! It doesn't look so scary now.

Thanks!

I've figured out whats wrong. Don't laugh...my keyboard has a "gaming" setting. Which makes the super key not work. And it was on gaming setting.

Thanks @YaManicKill, that  solved my problem too. I'm using the Logitech G15 and I never realised that's what that slider did!
