Hi Kristian,

The Left Super key is still the default key for switching between the 
overview and desktop. You can set which Super key to use with GNOME 
Tweak Tool. Head over to the Keyboard and Mouse category and then select 
an option under "Switch between overview and desktop".

Hope that helps.
