Super_L not directly, but it (normally) it is a modifier key: Mod3.

[~] $ xmodmap 
xmodmap:  up to 2 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):

shift       Shift_L (0x32),  Shift_R (0x3e)
lock        Caps_Lock (0x6f)
control     Control_L (0x25),  Control_R (0x6d)
mod1        Alt_L (0x40),  Alt_R (0x74)
mod2        Num_Lock (0x4d)
mod3        Super_L (0x73)
mod4      
mod5        Multi_key (0x75)

(Mod4 is normally Scroll_Lock but I don't use this.)

So: Just change the line mentioned above to

          case GDK_MOD3_MASK | GDK_A :

to use Super_L+a (just a example).

Are you the developer of xffm?


Gruss,
Bernhard
