- yndoendo 1y agoYou are correct that Win / Windows and Super are the more common name for the key. KDE actually calls this key Meta.

- 1718627440 1y agoIt seems to come from QT: https://qt.developpez.com/doc/6.1/qt/#LII-45 https://qt.developpez.com/doc/6.1/qt/#LII-45 . This is still confusing, since e.g. GTK+ and TUIs like Emacs use a Meta to mean Alt/Option. https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/User-Input.html https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Us... GTK+ claims to derive this names from X11/XFree86. https://docs.gtk.org/gdk4/keys.html https://docs.gtk.org/gdk4/keys.html
