I am running Lubuntu 11.10. By default the main menu is bound to Alt+F1 (A-F1) which works. Here is the relevant code from ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml



<keybind key="A-F1">
<action name="Execute">
<command>lxpanelctl menu</command>
</action>
</keybind>


This works. When I hit Alt+F1, I can see the start menu.



If I change the keys to "Windows key + M" (W-m), I can pull up the start menu using Win+M



<keybind key="W-m">
<action name="Execute">
<command>lxpanelctl menu</command>
</action>
</keybind>


However, I cannot bind the start menu to the Windows key alone. If I try replacing "W-m" by "W", the "W" alphabet key gets bound to the start menu. If I try "W-" nothing happens, I have tried the "Super" option too but to no avail.



How can I bind the Lubuntu main menu to the windows Key?



I have been through some relevant lubuntu questions, like this one, which tries to do the opposite.

I managed to just get this to work with 'Super_L', not 'Super'. Hope that works. You could also set 'Super_R' to do the same thing, if you have one.
