Description cburroughs 2007-02-28 04:44:32 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
If you set a shortcut using the Super Key in gconf in Keyboard Shortcuts this will show up as <Alt>Foo.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Edit something in /apps/metacity/global_keybindings/ to use Super
2. Look at "Keyboard Shorcuts"
3. Claims the shortcut uses Alt


Actual results:


Expected results:
The shortcuts should be displayed correctly.

Does this happen every time?
Yes.

Comment 1 Jens Granseuer 2007-02-28 17:59:29 UTC 
Cannot reproduce with 2.17.92.

What does the shortcut (with super) look like in gconf?

Bug 165343 is not related.

/apps/metacity/global_keybindings/run_command_terminal
<Super>e

In Keyboard Preference the Alt/Win key behavior is set to "default".
Comment 3 Jens Granseuer 2007-02-28 20:23:18 UTC 
You can't use shortcuts with Super as modifier (and in that case this is indeed bug 165343). It shouldn't use Alt as a replacement anyway, but it doesn't do so here, so this may have been fixed in recent versions.

Marking as duplicate.

Comment 4 cburroughs 2007-02-28 21:28:51 UTC 
What do you mean by "can't"?  The shortcuts I defined that use Super as a modifier are functional.
Comment 5 Jens Granseuer 2007-03-01 17:55:02 UTC 
If apps actually think Super is Alt on your setup, that's not really surprising...
