Re: [Notion-general] "Insane key combination" when attempting binding

[Wojciech A. <ani...@da...>]

OK solved.
I apologize for the apparently unnecessary post. In case anyone needs this ever: in most systems,
Super_L will be Mod4 or Mod3. Use xmodmap to check it out. Using "Mod4" name instead of bare "Super_L"
results in a proper instruction.
