I have seen many questions asked here on AskUbuntu, SuperUser, and Reddit where people are having trouble getting their Meta / Super / Windows
keys to work. I have tried all the suggestions but nothing is working. I don't know if this is an Ubuntu thing, a Gnome thing, an Gnome extension thing, or something with my Keyboard.
If I got to Settings > Keyboard > Input Sources > English (US) Ellipses > View Keyboard Layout
a digital keyboard pops up. This window shows me that when I press either Meta / Super / Windows
keys left or right, and the Menu
key nothing happens.
I just turned off all of my Gnome Extensions so I don't think they are the problem. Some suggest going into Gnome Tweaks > Keyboard & Mouse > Additional Layout Options
and changing the Alt and Win behavior. I have tried all of them. But as I previously stated my keys are not being registered.
Most answers suggest hitting FN + {F1-12}
But I don't have an FN
key and pressing the F
key they suggest also does nothing. I have pressed all F
keys then my Meta / Super / Windows
keys and nothing changes.
Is there any other way to enable these keys? I have a Logitech G613 if that makes any difference.... I took my brother-n-laws keyboard works on my computer. Plugged my keyboard into my laptop doesn't work. So I Googled Logitech G613 and remembered....
