Now I can get used to sane windows-switching behaviour again. (After a year, I'm so used to typing an extra TAB that I often end up in the wrong field when I'm on someone else's desktop.) Following the advice in your link, I added the following to my <tt>.Xmodmap</tt> and now it's working great! Thanks man! Your reply alone makes me glad that I posted this story. :-D <pre> remove mod4 = Super_L keycode 127 = NoSymbol add mod4 = Super_L </pre> Carlos,

I have a very similar usage pattern :-) Regarding your complaint about the window switching with the Windows key, that is a bug in X.
