Oh please. The super key is the windows key. You come across as someone who has never used a computer before.

And that this key is called "superkey" is a widespread standard on computers?

Or just linux?

I think the latter. And it might surprise you, but there are computers with no linux installed. I think the vast majority actually. So why the need for insults?

    Pretending like the person I'm responding to isn't being willfully ignorant isn't helping. It's pretty simple to guess what "super key" means just from context, if not, it's a very quick (in the op's case) llm query away. Let's be real here.

      I am real. I used computers for a long time. Also linux, but not exclusivly.

      Guess what, I also only learned recently (some years now I think) after making it mire default, that on linux the windows key is called super key. And the person you insulted clarified he did not use linux at all.

      So, how should he have known, despite working with computer extensivly?

<attenborough> In this thread, we witness the irony of Linux advocates telling people to use the Windows key. </attenborough>

I'm extremely experienced using and developing for Windows (and earlier) platforms, but it's true that I've never used a Linux machine before. I'm taking the opportunity to deliberately set one up and use it with Claude Code's help, in order to understand where the remaining sharp edges are, as well as the remaining dull ones. Desktop UX definitely qualifies as one of the latter.

    So you really couldn't figure out what "Super key" meant, even with context? I feel like you are being hyperbolic. This isn't magical hidden Linux knowledge. Honestly, if not being able to find what applications you have running, and not even trying pressing the large button on your keyboard with the windows logo on it was so traumatizing, you might want to just avoid Linux entirely.
