I'm trying to map the Meta/Super key to the Rofi launcher in Cinnamon Desktop but it doesn't seem to detect it. This is like the 4th desktop environment I've hopped to. Anyone know a fix?

I'm assuming it has something to do with the fact that I switched from Gnome -> KDE -> XFCE -> Cinnamon?

Can you use xev to see if the key is being registered at all?
Also what are you using to define the keybinds

I'm using the default keyboard system in cinnamon to map the keys and the key isn't even being registered at all.

You checked with xev?

Hmm. That's the limit of my knowledge. Maybe it's conflicting with another bind that uses super or something?

I mapped my "menu key" as the Right Super and that key works, but the actual super does not work. Which is odd.
Wait, just to be clear, the Meta key is the same as the Windows key right?

Depends on the program. Usually it is. It’s also often used as a name for Alt.
