Super key not working

gemantzu

Hey, since the last couple of updates I cannot use the super key (therefore I cannot also switch language). Any reason why or any info where I can check if some option is configured?
Thanks in advance!

Which desktop?

gemantzu

I am sorry, Budgie Desktop, all latest updates installed.

Try this terminal command and check if it works again:
kill budgie-panel

gemantzu

Nope, sorry, doesn't work. I mean, I have restarted a ton of times since then, it did nothing.

Might sound like a silly question, but are you sure the key isn't broken?

Such questions are never silly, let alone stupid! 😂

Hehe. No, it's working fine, I can use it perfectly fine on my Windows boot.

gemantzu

Noone?

gemantzu Install xev and run xev -event keyboard. While it is running press you Super key a few times. You should see a KeymapNotify event for each press and release, as well as repeats during a hold if the keyboard is being read correctly.

Nothing is getting registered. As an additional note, this is a corsair strafe keyboard and I use the ckb-next lib. So I found out on the ckb-next github page an issue where someone suggested to press again the winlock key, which disables the super button (for some reason). Thanks for the help everyone.
