not a syndaemon bug actually.

Mod4 is mapped to SUPR, a virtual key. This isn't the same as the
physical keys, which are mapped to Super_L and Super_R and don't show up
in the core mapping.

setxkbmap -option "altwin:super_win" creates this mapping and it works
fine.


Sergey - any reason why this isn't the default?

Thanks! With setxkbmap -option "altwin:super_win" it works.

You mean - why Mod4 is not mapped to LWIN/RWIN in addition to SUPR ?
Well, I cannot think of any reason. Should we try that?

I think it'd make sense.  Since SUPR is a only virtual key it appears in
xmodmap but isn't actually useable. And RWIN/LWIN are mapped to nothing by
default, which is rather pointless.

This change seems to break level3 switch with LWIN/RWIN in GTK+
applications. See Debian bug:

I myself don't really understand why this change would cause this bug,
so I guess the problem is in GTK+. Do you have any idea on the subject?

According to #23266, this fix is invalid - it breaks things for people
using lv3:lwin_switch.

As the result, I am reverting this patch: http://cgit.freedesktop.org
/xkeyboard-config/commit/?id=5de02aa07a8d4bbe1957af3a38212c3507f2436f

I'm afraid, you have to specify altwin:super_win explicitly

I can't reproduce this. Tested with

lv3:lwin_switch, lv3:rwin_switch and lv3:win_switch all work fine and as
expected (tested on layout 'de').


what's the magic sauce required to break it?
