Here's another (better) workaround:

1. Write a script or figure out the command to do what you want the action to be.
2. Run ccsm.
3. Enable the "Commands" plugin
4. In the Commands settings, fill in the command line you want and bind it to key Super+P.

Now Unity will run your specified command on Super+P, but still handle the Super key as usual.
