How do I disable the Super key?
I want to disable the Super key, when I press Super nothing should happen.
How can I do that?
You can change that in Compiz.
-
Install
compizconfig-settings-manager
sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
-
Hit Alt+F2, type
about:config
and hit Enter to open the Unity configuration.Or run
ccsm
on the command line. -
Change or disable the shortcut for Key to show the launcher as you like to free your Super key:
Execute the following command and then log in Unity desktop environment again.
dconf write /org/compiz/profiles/unity/plugins/unityshell/show-launcher '""'
In Ubuntu 12.04 and later:
gconftool-2 --set "/apps/compiz-1/plugins/unityshell/screen0/options/show_launcher" --type string ""
Just putting the following lines into your ~/.Xmodmap and then log out and log in Unity again.
keycode 133 = NoSymbol
keycode 134 = NoSymbol
In Ubuntu 20.04, running this command works for me:
gsettings set org.gnome.mutter overlay-key ''
