On my system (which has an HP USB keyboard, model SK-2502U, part number
A4983-60401):
* The left Wing/Windows key is identified as "Super_L".
* The right Wing/Windows key would have been "Super_R" but I've mapped
it to "Multi_key".
* The Menu key is identified as "Menu".
I'm using startx to launch an X11 session, and I have a ~/.xsession
file. In my .xsession file, I have (among other commands):
xmodmap ~/.xmodmaprc
And my ~/.xmodmaprc file contains:
=======================================================================
keysym Super_R = Multi_key
keycode 162 = XF86AudioPlay
keycode 164 = XF86AudioStop
keycode 144 = XF86AudioPrev
keycode 153 = XF86AudioNext
=======================================================================
Those last four lines are from a previous keyboard; my current keyboard
does not have those buttons on it. But the lines in .xmodmaprc are
not hurting anything, so I left them in.
