If you hold down the Super key it will still act as a modifier key, allowing you to use it for other keyboard shortcuts. ksuperkey is a small desktop-agnostic application that runs in the background as a daemon. It was forked from xcape by Albin Olsson: **Usage** ``` ksuperkey [-d] [-t timeout-ms] [-e map-expression] ``` * -d Debug mode. Does not fork into the background. * -t . If you hold a key longer than this timeout, ksuperkey will not generate a key event. Default is 500 ms. * -e . The expression has the grammar 'ModKey=Key[|OtherKey][;NextExpression]' Further documentation at: ### Package name * ksuperkey --- ### License * GPL-3.0 --- ### Last updated * 3 December 2019 - latest/stable This snap hasn't been updated in a while.

They update automatically and roll back gracefully. Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions. ### Enable snapd Snapd can be installed from Manjaro’s Add/Remove Software application (Pamac), found in the launch menu. From the application, search for *snapd*, select the result, and click Apply. Alternatively, *snapd* can be installed from the command line: ``` sudo pacman -S snapd ``` Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket ``` To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`: ``` sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap ``` Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly. ### Install ksuperkey To install ksuperkey, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install ksuperkey ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
