unity hooks up app menu to Hyper key

[Victor Costan]

Binary package hint: unity

I upgraded to 11.04 and love unity, with the exception of the fact that it stole Hyper away from me. The start menu / app menu is already bound to Super, and it should remain that way. I remapped Caps Lock to Hyper, so that I can use it for IME switching.

In conclusion, please stick to hooking Super for the start menu. AFAIK, real keyboards don't have a Hyper key, and if people map something to Hyper, it's for custom use.

Thank you so much!

I'm in the exact same situation. I was going to write a less coherent version of your post, but you saved me the time. Thanks!

thanks for the bug report. Is that still an issue in Ubuntu 12.04?
