It really looks like a fix is not coming for this. I've remapped the ubuntu menu key from "super" to "ctrl-super" in compizconfig-settings- manager so that I can use the windows key in my VMs without it triggering the overlay.
It's not ideal, but it's enough to allow me to get on with my work for now. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/741869 Title: Unity/compiz intercepts Super and Alt keypresses from grabbed windows like VMs. To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/741869/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
