Because despite the logo, it is easy to remap it to Super (in fact, Ubuntu seems to do that that be defaut). I for one like having another modifier. A Sun Type 6 or 7 USB programmers keyboard should offer a proper command key without windows logo as well. I don't have one to check the keymap with though. This does once again remind me that I should go looking for one on ebay. I believe if you hook an Apple keyboard up to Linux, you find the Command (pretzel) key mapped as Super, if that is less offensive than the Windows logo. ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user

Metacity / compiz have that as a short-cut for dragging windows around. With metacity this is configurable: MainMenu - System - Windows - MovementKey This setting can be either Alt, or Super (Windows logo) I don't know about compiz but expect it to be configurable , too. If the proposed modified drag is caught with some settings of some window managers then the affected users are in the same situation like now. Everybody else would gain a shortcut to a frequently needed action. All the window managers i have used have all used Alt+Mouse1 for dragging windows around by default, but most of them have the option of reconfiguring this. The ones i have used (and remember now) are: fluxbox, evilwm, ratpoison, metacity, compiz /Jonatan ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
