I have installed Mint 17 on my laptop, when I wish to use the super key to get the menu on my laptop I have to set it to Super_L. When I plug in my external keyboard I have to set it to Super_R.
Is there a way to bind both keys to this function?
Is there a way to add the menu button action through a new custom shortcut?
I found dconf editor and looked at org.cinnamon.muffin.keybindings. This particular shortcut isn't there. I figure if I can find where the value is stroed, perhaps I could change it to "Super".

Re: Super_L and Super_R
With xev I found out that on my keyboard Super_L has keycode 133 and Super_R has keycode 134. So I tried to remap 134 to Super_L:
This does give the following:
But it does not trigger the menu like Super_L does.
Code: Select all
xmodmap -e "keycode 134 = Super_L"
Code: Select all
KeyRelease event, serial 40, synthetic NO, window 0x4600001,
root 0x9d, subw 0x0, time 21683599, (86,222), root:(87,295),
state 0x50, keycode 134 (keysym 0xffeb, Super_L), same_screen YES,
XKeysymToKeycode returns keycode: 133
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
Re: Super_L and Super_R
https://github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon/issues/630 > This has been fixed in github and should be available in next release. That is, both menu keys are mapped by default and can be changed in Menu Applet settings, if desired.
