As someone who heavily uses the super key in Emacs, I disagree with you.
It's getting pretty difficult to turn off that feature (is it even possible in recent versions of Gnome?).
Also, the Super-o shortcut to lock screen rotation (on a compute, really?) is hardcoded in the window manager and can't be disabled at all. That's really great when you have APL symbols mapped to it.
- mixmastamyk 8y agoThought emacs used Ctrl? I use Mate, though gnome3 has infected many of the apps, such as the two mentioned above. Think you have to enable super-search by opting in to one of the advance start menus under it.
- lokedhs 8y agoEmacs uses Control and Meta. That makes Super a very useful key to map custom functions to.
- mixmastamyk 8y agoMine still works, just the bare key press that opens the start menu.
- lokedhs 8y agoThat's true, but when you use the key a lot it often happens that you press it and then release it. It's very annoying Also, the hardcoding of super-o is even more annoying. I also noticed that in recent versions of Gnome, super-s doesn't work anymore. I have no explanation for that one.
- mixmastamyk 8y agoBummer. Well perhaps Mate is a good choice then. I'm enjoying it though still a bit lacking compared to Windows 2k, sigh.
