I recently had to change the keyboard-shortcuts after updating my system. I had to use dconf-editor
to manually set the shortcut from <Super>+R
to <Mod4>+R
in order to get them to work (see here).
This does work when I press the right super-key together with the specified alphabetic key, but it does not work when using the left super-key. Also, the gnome-shell menu is set to show up when I press just the super-key, but it only shows up when pressing the left one.
I'd like to have gnome-shell accept both the left and the right super-key for the shortcut, but I don't want to remap the menu-key (which is <Super>
by default).

Use
xmodmap -pm
to verify that both keys have themod4
modifier associated with them.Note that it's not enough that it's named
Super_L
orSuper_R
; it's the modifier mapping that matters.You can use
xmodmap
to associate keysyms with modifiers, but if your system is at all modern (and not OS X) then it uses Xkb and you probably want to examine your Xkb configuration instead of trying to change it withxmodmap
. (Look atsetxkbmap
and friends, although probably there is a GNOME 3 interface to it that you should use.)
