You could check whether you need to have Super_L registered as a proper "X" modifier key before E will see it as such.
Create a .Xmodmap in your home directory, and put a line reading "add mod4 = Super_L" in it. Then either restart your x session, or run "xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap" in a terminal, and then try your effort in the E keybindings.cfg file again.

I have got xev to report symbols: "Super_L" for left Windoze, "Menu" for the silly-button. I am not sure how to get these to work in E's keybindings.cfg. The format of the modifiers seems different to the format for the __KEY. For example, if I wanted the start Eterm when I press my "Super-L" key and the letter "e", how could I achieve this? I tried: __NEXT_ACTION __KEY e __EVENT __KEY_PRESS __MODIFIER_KEY Super_L __ACTION __A_EXEC Eterm But this did not work. (I also tried using "__Super_L" instead.)

First, just run the 'xev' utility, and see what keycode those keys generate. If they don't generate a keycode that 'xev' can see, you're basically screwed and need to fix/hack the X server so they do get generated. Just as a data point, on my keyboard, I get: for 'left m$ flag': KeyPress event, serial 20, synthetic NO, window 0x2600001, root 0x8c, subw 0x0, time 5940290, (89,72), root:(771,1089), state 0x0, keycode 115 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: "" for 'right m$ flag': KeyPress event, serial 25, synthetic NO, window 0x2600001, root 0x8c, subw 0x0, time 5944298, (89,72), root:(771,1089), state 0x0, keycode 116 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: "" for 'funky-context-menu': KeyPress event, serial 25, synthetic NO, window 0x2600001, root 0x8c, subw 0x0, time 5944958, (89,72), root:(771,1089), state 0x0, keycode 117 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: "" Your keycodes may differ. Second, you need to have a keysym other than 'NoSymbol'. This may be doable by beating up on /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB but may require more - I haven't actually tried it. Once you get them reporting a keysym, then you can just go ahead and use them like any other keysym.... Incidentally, the same technique would apply to get (for instance) the row of cute little buttons on a Microsoft Natural keyboard working - the ones labelled back/forward/stop/.../next track/prev trak/media... ======================================================================== ====== This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
