I use it to contol my OS, of course!
My superkey controls my OS (window-manager, music, launcher, brightness, etc).
My alt-key controls my tmux and browser
My ctrl-key controls the app (vim/bash/mpd)
I use it as quick launcher:
meta+Topens the terminalRopens the calculatorFopens browserJopens my notes app
Edit: bonus points if you can guess where R, F and J come from :D
It’s the R that I can’t figure out
It is Rechner (German for computer or calculator)
nothing on its own i use it as a modifier key
Hyper or meh keys would be a good use.
Use it as my mod key for niri
I built a custom keyboard, and I used the Mac version of the meta key instead of the windows key. Now that buttons serves as $mod for i3
Meta-Tab switches between activities on KDE.
Don’t call it Windows key. It’s Meta, even if Micro$oft paid to put an advert on it.
Super. Similar to how it’s used in windows
Being able to drag and resize windows without having to aim at the title bar with Meta and Left or Right click is a killer feature.
When I have to use Windows I install AltSnap because living without is too painful lmaoI think on some distros you could also do
shift+meta+left/right/up/downon multi-monitor setups to move the active window to another monitorThat’s also on Windows by default. Thankfully
KDE default, so it opens the start menu, or launcher. Whichever you want to call it.
I don’t have any such keys.
I dont have a windows key https://www.pckeyboard.com/page/product/LinTuxSet
Nothing. The sole Windows key on my keyboard has never been intentionally pressed except by my cat.
For me, Win+space opens up xfce4-appfinder for me (or Enlightenment’s “Everything” launcher if I’m in Enlightenment). Then I have Win+s set to toggle xscreensaver being enabled or disabled. Win+up maximizes a window, win+left maximizes it just vertically. I think I have win+down set to minimize, but it’s been a while since I’ve used that, and I’m not at a computer right now.
It opens the start menu.
looks at community name
Oh. It, uh…opens, er…Flatpaks?

I don’t see the problem here lolol
I remapped alt to ctrl as God intended, and ‘windows’ and the context-menu keys to alt. Coincidentally, the ctrl keys stopped working on my laptop for some reason, but if they worked, I’d map them to ‘super’ and put some obscure os-wide functions on there, like enabling/disabling Bluetooth. Or would just switch to English and my language with one press of a particular key.
