Windows key to launch apps

[marc]

Hi,

On Windows, I use AutoHotKey to launch apps - mice! who needs 'em?

Most of the shortcuts are of the form Win+<character>

Win+F = Firefox
Win+V = vim

and so on.

I'd like to replicate this on Kubuntu, but when I use the Win key as a 
"Window Shortcut" in the app or "Keyboard Shortcut/Command Shortcut" via 
Control Centre/Regional.../Global Schemes nothing happens.

Oddly, using the Win key for Global Shortcuts in Control 
Centre/Regional... works fine.

Anyone know the trick?
