I have this output of xmodmap command:



shift Shift_L (0x32), Shift_R (0x3e)
lock Caps_Lock (0x42)
control Control_L (0x25), Caps_Lock (0x42), Control_R (0x69)
mod1 Alt_L (0x40), Alt_R (0x6c), Meta_L (0xcd)
mod2 Num_Lock (0x4d)
mod3
mod4 Super_L (0x85), Super_R (0x86), Super_L (0xce), Hyper_L (0xcf)
mod5 ISO_Level3_Shift (0x5c), Mode_switch (0xcb)


So I wonder what's super key here? Problem is that when I try to map super key, here I assume mod4 as windows button left to a combine key using sxhkd daemon, it doesn't seem to work, for example, map to open firefox, no effect.






xmodmap super-key

          You have to use the command xev, check xev man for more information.



          Call xev from terminal, then click the "super key", after then check the output information in terminal. It will be something like this:



          KeyRelease event, serial 37, synthetic NO, window 0x4000001,
           root 0x75, subw 0x0, time 2014984514, (70,-18), root:(82,60),
           state 0x50, keycode 115 (keysym 0xffeb, Super_L), same_screen YES,
           XLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
           XFilterEvent returns: False


          xev tends to generate a lot of output, especially when you move your mouse over terminal window. You may have to scroll back a while to find the output you're looking for. In the previous output, we see that the super_L has keycode 115. This is what you need to feed to xmodmap.



          xmodmap is only for remapping keys. It helps you to map keys together. It can't provide any information about the key code.

                    One-line joke

                    A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line. A good one-liner is said to be pithy - concise and meaningful. [1] Comedians and actors use this comedic method as part of their act, e.g. Jimmy Carr, Tommy Cooper, Rodney Dangerfield, Norm Macdonald, Ken Dodd, Stewart Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Milton Jones, Shappi Khorsandi, Jay London, Mark Linn-Baker, Demetri Martin, Groucho Marx, Dan Mintz, Emo Philips, Tim Vine, Steven Wright and Henny Youngman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. [ citation needed ] Many fictional characters are also known to deliver one-liners, including James Bond, who usually includes pithy and laconic quips after disposing of a villain. [ citation needed ] Examples "A baby seal walks into a club." "A dyslexic man walks into a bra." (Anonymous) "There are three types of people, those who can count and those who can't." "Venison's dear, isn't it?" (Jimmy Carr) "An escala...
