Windows button with AHK
I've been using the script provided on this github (https://github.com/Flow-Launcher/Flow.Launcher/discussions/747) to open flow launcher with windows button, but this script doesnt take into account win + D, win + arrow keys, etc. How can this script be edited so that if just the windows key is pressed, the !{Space} will be sent, but if not, run whatever the user pressed?

Trying to set up Cerebro on Fedora

Whenever I click on "toggle cerebro" (as shown in the screenshot below) i get the following error:
