Super_R not working

Post by deelite »

Hi,

on my keyboard i have only 1 Super Key - on the right side. Under Unity this key works for the 'Startmenu'. Under Cinnamon it does not.

In settings->keyboard->shortcuts i can't find any config for that.

Can anyone help me please?

Thaks for reading this!

When you go to Cinnamon Settings > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts, and in the window on the left under Categories you select Cinnamon,
then in the right window under Keyboard Shortcuts there is an option for "Menu button". I assume you are not seeing this option?
If not, have you tried connecting an external USB keyboard to see if the option now appears? This keyboard should function along with the
built in one. You may have to restart your system.

I see this option. And it's the same as I meant above.

With another keyboard with 2 Super keys, only the left one works.

But i only have the right one...

I may be a little confused as to what you can see. On your laptop can you see the screen below with "Super_L" showing or can you only see it with the the USB keyboard connected?

If you can see the screen above then just change the "Keyboard bindings" from "Super_L" to "Super_R".
If you can only see it with the USB keyboard connected, then use that keyboard to change the setting. Then disconnect the keyboard and see if the setting sticks using the right super key.
