Add support for a "meta key" which initiates extended WM operations (11.82 KB, patch)

Description Owen Taylor 2009-04-23 21:05:47 UTC 
This patch adds the concept of a special key for WM operations, and
the default is Super_L, which on extended PC hardware is the
"Windows key".  What we do is handle the special case of a press
and release of this key (without any other intervening keys).

Super_L+<key> should still be passed to applications.  In the future
we may want to also take some of these keybindings (e.g. Super+TAB)
though.
