[Bug 763156] Re: Cannot change functionality of the Super-Key
So Ubuntu is providing two separate interfaces for assigning keybindings/shortcuts that do not overlap gracefully and this isn't considered a bug? At the very least this should be a request for a unified keybindings/shortcut manager. If they are going to use Compiz to override the Gnome keyboard shortcuts then they should use it to replace it entirely. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/763156 Title: Cannot change functionality of the Super-Key -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hope this will help http://askubuntu.com/search?q=change+super+key Moreover, i have changed the status of the bug so anyone with a keen approach to the specific matter may help. The change in functionality of keyboard keys must be provided by default. User must be able to change the layout of the keys through System > Preferences > Keyboard. ** Changed in: unity Status: Invalid => New ** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/763156 Title: Cannot change functionality of the Super-Key -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 763156] Re: Cannot change functionality of the Super-Key
These features are fine. Ubuntu can set the default keybindings however they see fit. But your response does not address the main point of my bug ticket. These settings should be set through the keybindings system that already exists. Instead Ubuntu has apparently hard-coded these keybindings so that they cannot be altered or disabled. I don't understand how this approach can possibly benefit anyone. And, if Ubuntu decides that this is how they are going to keep things, then they need to go in and change all of the keyboard/keybinding options so that a user understands that the Super-Key is now off-limits for customization. It's an important bug either way and it's disappointing that this important detail is considered invalid with so little consideration. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/763156 Title: Cannot change functionality of the Super-Key -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 763156] Re: Cannot change functionality of the Super-Key
The Super-Key in Ubuntu (specially in the new Unity Interface) performs variety of specific tasks like 1. Holding the Super-Key pops the Unity Launcher and let users to interact with various icons by specifying numbers and alphabets as shortcuts. 2. Pressing the Super-Key (without holding) brings up the Dash to search and open various applications and files etc. 3.Pressing Super-Key + D Shows the desktop. These are some of the specific functions of the Super-Key which cannot be replaced. Hope it helps, Thanks. ** Changed in: unity Status: New => Invalid ** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/763156 Title: Cannot change functionality of the Super-Key -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
