Keyboard remapping for Super keys, not working
Hi there guys.
Can you help with a obscure problem please. Issue: I want to be able to remap the Super key and the menu/paste key on my physical keyboard to become the left and right Amiga keys respectively. I'm using an ergonomic keyboard and they bottom layer looks like this - Ctrl | Super key | Alt | Space bar | Alt-gr | menu/paste key | Ctrl Currently, when I press the super key I brings up the KDE main menu (which I want when I'm using my host OS - but not when I'm using the emulator). Is there any way to get the Super key (and the menu/paste key) to act like Amiga Keys ? Troubleshooting: 1. I've read through the keyboard short cut info on the FS-UAE webpage 2. I've tried to remap them using the advanced options screen on FS-UAE settings page as follows: keyboard_key_lsuper = AMIGA_LEFT keyboard_key_rsuper = AMIGA_RIGHT But it makes no difference, pressing the left super key, brings up the KDE main menu. Questions: 1. Is there a way to disable this behavior (only when using the emulator) ? 2. Is there any way to get the Super key (and the menu/paste key) to act like Amiga Keys ? TIA for any help or advice. Useful Details: FS-UAE version: 3.1.67 OS: Linux (Ubuntu 22.04 LTS) KDE version: 5.24.7 Kernel: 6.2.0-36-generic (64-bit) |

Hi Noob-tech-ninja
For the left Amiga Key you would put this in your config: keyboard_key_lsuper = action_key_amiga_left However, I have no idea what you would use for your "menu/paste key". If you used the Right Alt key it would be: keyboard_key_ralt = action_key_amiga_right Hope this helps. |

As Gnome use the super key, you can't use it for emulation... but in a terminal window, you can check this
gsettings get org.gnome.mutter overlay-key 'Super_L' gsettings set org.gnome.mutter overlay-key '' gsettings get org.gnome.mutter overlay-key '' Now you can use the super key in the emulation... Last edited by Gilloo; 20 November 2023 at 09:43. |

@wiisoldier
Thanks very much for the clarification on the string needed for the config file. This has mostly worked. Using the following code = Code:
keyboard_key_menu = action_key_amiga_right But using - Code:
keyboard_key_lsuper = action_key_amiga_left However I strongly suspect that this is due to KDE / Plasma overriding the emulators keybindings / keyboard shortcuts. I'll have another tinker and see if I can get FS-UAE to let me use the left super key as I want to. Thanks again. Last edited by Noob-tech-ninja; 19 November 2023 at 13:36.
