Walk Through Desktops=Win+Tab
Walk Through Desktops(Reverse)=Win+Shift+Tab
Maximize Window=Win+Shift+Up
Maximize Window Vertically=Win+Up
Minimize Window=Win+Down
Switch to Next Desktop=Win+Right
Switch to Previous Desktop=Win+Left
Window to Next Desktop=Win+Alt+Right
Window to Previous Desktop=Win+Alt+Left
You really should try them. You will see how seamless 4 desktops
really become...
Why? I can do all of that without the Win keys.
On my main desktop I use a Northgate Omnikey Ultra. There are no
Win keys.
I've seen the win key all over the place. On my
current laptop it
is next to the left-alt key -- love it~
I'm referring to the right Win key. The left Win key doesn't do
anything on my system. I want to disable the right Win key because
I am tired of the popup menus appearing when I inadvertently bump
the key.
I spent about a half-hour last night trying to figure out how to
disable the right Win key. I still haven't found a way. I'd settle
for an xorg.conf solution too if I can fid one.

God that is frustrating, and I think Michele is correct, the base definitions
will be in the xkb definitions outside tde. Now the way tde handles them may be
tweaked. It has been years since I chased that rabbit down, but if you don't
find an option to change it in tde, then it is a pass-through from xkb and you
will have to see what tde does to catch the other keys and probably add a
specific catch for the rt-win.

The xmodkeymap approach:
Start "xev" and figure out what your right Win key is. On my keyboard
pressing/releasing it gives these events:
KeyPress event, serial 39, synthetic NO, window 0x3200001,
root 0x29a, subw 0x0, time 43557188, (171,-13), root:(233,415),
state 0x2000, keycode 134 (keysym 0xffec, Super_R), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
KeyRelease event, serial 39, synthetic NO, window 0x3200001,
root 0x29a, subw 0x0, time 43557236, (171,-13), root:(233,415),
state 0x2040, keycode 134 (keysym 0xffec, Super_R), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
So my keycode for "right Win" is 134. Now let's remap it - every decent
programmer needs lambda on his thumbs:
$ xmodmap - << XXX
keycode 134 = Greek_lambda
XXX
or disable the key:
$ xmodmap - << XXX
keycode 134 =
XXX
I put this in my .xinitrc and added this xinit.desktop-entry to .trinity/Autostart - just
the Exec-Line is important:
[Desktop Entry]
Exec[$e]=bash '/home/nik/.xinitrc'
hope it helps.
