When you hit Super, it launches Dash.
When you hold Super, it shows you all shortcuts.
When you hold Super and hit a key, it cryptically runs an action.

If you change your HUD trigger to Ctrl, the following wrong actions happen:

When you hit Ctrl, it launches HUD.
When you hold Ctrl, it launches HUD.
When you hold Ctrl and hit a key, it launches HUD and types a key in HUD.

If you change your HUD trigger to Ctrl, the following right actionsshould happen:


When you hit Ctrl, it launches HUD.
When you hold Ctrl, it shows all shortcuts like Super.
When you hold Ctrl and hit a key, crytically runs an action.

So currently there's a bug preventing me from using the IMHO bestshortcut settings which should be IMHO default shortcut settings.

I have changed my HUD trigger to ctrl just to try how it would act. Ican say after an hour of heavy text-editing HUD activated about 50times from which about 2 was intentional. I think it pretty much getsin the way rather than help with ctrl.

            i use my little/small/pinkie finger to hit ctrl.  i find
            it much more comfortable than hitting alt with my thumb.
            i've never found alt to be a comfortable reach.

        I tried to understand how that's possible, but it's a little
        bit difficult. When I have my hands in the resting position,
        my left thumb is about one inch from the left alt-key. I
        would've preferred it to be a little to the right, at the cost
        of a slightly smaller space bar, but it's still easily
        accessible to me. At the very least, it's much more
        comfortable than the Ctrl-key, which requires me to lift my
        arm or twist my hand.

        Do you have a weird keyboard, or do you have weird hands? :)


    Whatever he has, I have it too :)

    With my hands in resting position, Alt is just to the left of
    where my thumb naturally rests on the spacebar. Super (AKA
    'Windows') is just to the left of that, and Ctrl is just to the
    left of that. Ctrl, Super and Alt are all approximately the same
    size. With my hands in resting position, my left pinkie rests on
    the 'A' key. If I move it down a fraction of an inch, it's on
    left-shift, and if I move it down another fraction of an inch it's
    on the left Ctrl key. Both are comfortable movements. This is on a
    'pure' american-english keyboard - does yours have some extra keys
    for Norwegian that change the layout?
