Bug Description
Binary package hint: xkeyboard-config
Please reassign package if it's wrong
The current default is that the WIN key is not mapped to anything, that makes it an ideal candidate for doing something helpful _and_ helping those migrating from windows (The WIN key in windows open the start menu, used for opening applications).
So, let's map it to the Applications menu (currently mapped to <ALT+F1>)

It will really be helpful for users migrating from Windows.
At the same time existing users should also be able to use Alt+F1.
I am not sure if it is possible to assign two kwyboard shortcuts for one action.
