2010-09-07 19:23:30 Mark Shuttleworth summary Unity cannot map the Super (Windows) key Unity should facilitate end-user mapping of the Super key
2010-09-07 19:29:15 Mark Shuttleworth description Currently Unity is mapping the Windows key to display numbers for icons. There are big issues doing this: 1) Video Out hotkeys are now sending Super (Windows) + P *When video out hotkey is pressed Unity This relates to this bug (which is being fixed upstream to support Super (Windows) + P): https://bugs.launchpad.net/oem-priority/+bug/539477 I also have a video (sorry for the quality) here to demonstrate: http://people.canonical.com/~jerone/launchpad/unity/IMG_1115.MOV 2) OEMs who ship Windows cannot ship Unity if it maps the Windows (Super Key) and the keyboard has Windows Logo. * The summary here is that if you are an OEM you cannot ship any other software, but Windows that uses the Windows Key, if the Microsoft Windows Logo is on the keyboard. So if OEM does not have the Windows Logo on the keyboard (where super is) it is fine. But all OEMs at this point in time have Windows Logo on the keyboard. * If you would like more information on this please contact Pat in Canonical OEM services. Unity uses the Super key to activate Unity functions. Some OEM's have contractual requirements from Microsoft that pay them to put the Windows logo on that key, and preclude them from shipping the key mapped to anything other than the Windows Start menu. Unity should be usable in cases where the OEM ships it unmapped, facilitating the user's mapping of the key to Unity's requirements. * If you would like more information on this please contact Pat in Canonical OEM services.
