@alexanderkhryukin yes it's available :) but should it be activated by default?

@anuragbhandari @alexanderkhryukin @robertxu @paulocesarpereirad Copying information that may have some influence on your choice by Julia Dronova

Some fun people (me including :) ) use the left win for switching between keyboard layouts, also some people sometimes use it directly (e.g. not like a modifier key) for any other purposes, so in my opinion it would be not very good idea to have this ksuperkey configured by default. (Even if we are a minority :) )

I agree, it could be useful. And activated by default.
I think "special use" is made by quite skilled people that can disable this key.

We could also, in the OM-Welcome include a shortcut list, like *buntu

@joaoazevedopatricio1 right!

Enabled by default and easily disabled could be the solution.

Yes, I agree that it would be good to put it in the OM Welcome shortcut list. And while we are at it, add the "start button" options in the OM Welcome shortcut list.

@Bernhard I think "different purpose" is mainly for "skilled users" that should not have problem to disable this feature.

34% should be not enough...

so I propose, when some OMA members have not voted, to send them a msg to push them for voting
in theory we should reach 50% + 1

i think also that 50%+1 should be not enough,
perhaps,
i say perhaps, it maybe better if 2/3 or 2/3 + 1, for considering it like a real consensus...

so closing the poll now, 34% of members stated their position (14/41), is like bad... don't you?

people not voting, after 3 not voting, or other number, should be informed, then out of the OMA...
if you are OMA member you should partecipate to decisions, otherwise not being on loomio

Launching application menu with Super (Windows) Key ( http://www.loomio.org/m/mkH8TMFZ/launching-application-menu-with-super-windows-key?utm_campaign=thread_mailer&utm_medium=email&utm_source=motion_closed )

Many people coming from Windows lack this default behaviour, which is launching the appication menu (yes like the windows “Start” menu) with Super(Windows) key, although it works in Ubuntu or Gnome, it doesn’t in KDE (which is at this moment the default and only DE in OMLx).

Here is a simple solution http://blog.hanschen.org/2012/10/17/open-application-launcher-with-super-key/ ( http://blog.hanschen.org/2012/10/17/open-application-launcher-with-super-key/ )

Not difficult to do (simply install ksuperkey, add it in autostart, + associate Alt+F1 to SW), but not so simple for a beginner. Would you like the Application menu to be launched with Super key? Is it good practice, or should we avoid it for other reasons? Please express yourself if you have some interest, or simply say if you don’t care :)

I see it making a lot of sense for Windoze converts -- but at the same time, many people use that key for different purposes (e.g. mapping it to Compose, switching between latin and cyrillic letters)

We should make it easy, unsure about default.

I agree provided there are clear instructions on how to disable, or an easy way to do, if it's not what user want.

Wayne Sallee
I agree. Ideally it should not be a hard setting, in that it should be a setting that can be easily changed. Linux is all about choice.

We want people coming from windows to feel at home with Linux.

If it can't make coffee, why not launch the menu...

Davide Garatti
YES! I perfectly agree

I think it's a good behaviour to follow a kind of de facto standard.
