Super_L key not working

Yup, my Super_L key isnt working.

I found nothing from either Google or Archwiki that could help
xmodmap lists Super_L (0x85) as mapped to mod4 (as it should be).
When I run xev, it outputs all other keys fine (Alt, AltGr, Caps Lock, A-Z, 0-9 etc.) except Super_L and Super_R, respectively my left and right Windows keys.

Im using Finnish keyboard layout, but AFAIK same problem exists with enUS layout also.

As Im planning to run tiling window manager, that makes it a lot more difficult when you basically dont have you Windows key, since a lot of other keys are already binded to different shortcuts.

How should I proceed?

Re: Super_L key not working

Which DE you use? in KDE you can configure the key shortcuts from systemsettings. It works irrespective of the xmod(if you set it that way).

I wonder how it would be like to use the rest 99% of my brain..:P
