    The windows key is so super useful though. Not just for quickly starting or finding shit without using the mouse, but also for moving windows around, maximizing them, making them take up exactly half of your screen, locking your screen, etc.

      I am very confused why anyone would disable the super/command key. Ever since moving to linux its become the most used key on my entire board.

      Admittedly i am using a shortcut heavy tillable win manager. Blown away how fun it is to operate a pc keyboard only. (Overspendinging on nice keyboard switches also helps)

        My greatest trick in computer class was memorizing all the keyboard shortcuts and never using the garbage ball mouse.

        Navigating a computer just by keyboard almost feels like magic still to some people and it’s fun to rotate people’s entire screens.

          Just turning the screen upside down is a classic and works very fast If you know the shortcut, but my favorite was always:

          1. taking a screenshot of the desktop
          2. flipping that screenshot upside down
          3. disabling desktop symbols
          4. setting the taskbar to auto hide
          5. using the flipped screenshot as desktop background
          6. and finally flipping the screen.

          Results in a normal looking desktop with an upside down cursor that behaves weirdly

      I mostly just game on my PC and accidentally pressing the windows key can minimize the game screen.

      Display Fusion does a great job of handling that, using more convenient keys that don’t get in the way
