Why aren't my winkey keyboard shortcuts working (Openbox)

I've started playing with openbox again and by default it has "W-F#" set to change workspace. Here's my xorg.conf:

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier  "Keyboard0"
    Driver      "keyboard"
        Option      "CoreKeyboard"
    Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
    Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
    Option "XkbLayout" "uk"
    Option "XkbOptions" "altwin:super_win"
EndSection

I seem to remember there being a program that allowed you to monitor what X sees certain keys as (command line app) but I can't remember what it's called. I am using a standard uk keyboard.

Thanks in advance

FWIW, my "windows" key is working by default. did you try without Option "XkbOptions" "altwin:super_win" ?

Changing my keyboard layout from uk to gb fixed it. I didn't need the extray xkboptions line.

glad you fixed it.  the program you were asking about is called "xev".  You can test your keyboard keys (and mouse etc) with it.
