[Bug 55729] Re: GNOME keybindings register as <Mod4><Hyper>L (and do not work)

[Rauli Ruohonen]

I'm don't know about the relationship with xmodmap -- I thought that was
superseded by XKB, but I may be wrong. In any case, mod4 not working
properly in Gnome is a well-known bug, or has been so for at least a
year; perhaps what you're seeing is an instance of it. See the
following:

Metacity bindings work properly, but g-s-d ones don't. Which bindings
are handled by which depends. You can use gconf-editor to bind keys to
commands through metacity, as described e.g. at

http://linuxformat.co.uk/wiki/index.php/Setting_Key_Bindings_in_GNOME

I got bindings to work (in Edgy) by setting win-key to be Hyper and
binding keys such as "<Hyper>s" using gconf-editor as described above.
