Assigning Shortcuts to Windows Key

[Gerald Skerbitz]

Dang! I tried Hyper, I tried Windows, I tried Super. I tried changing the
sourcecode in keyboard.c.  I can't figure it out.
Below are the output of xmodmap and the xev output for the event of
pressing the keys (there's one on the left and one on the right).
Any other clues?

xmodmap:  up to 2 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):

shift       Shift_L (0x32),  Shift_R (0x3e)
lock        Caps_Lock (0x42)
control     Control_L (0x25),  Control_R (0x6d)
mod1        Alt_L (0x40),  Alt_R (0x71)
mod2        Num_Lock (0x4d)
mod3        Hyper_L (0x73),  Hyper_R (0x74)
mod4        Hyper_L (0x73),  Hyper_R (0x74)
mod5

That's the place to do it. (Funny, I was just setting up a new keytheme
myself tonight.) I got the Windows keys working using Super (I mapped
Super+R to xfrun4, for example).
