gmrun VS ksuperkey

I use gmrun for many years, in every DE, bind to Alt+F2. I am happy that now there is a new home here https://github.com/wdlkmpx/gmrun. I cannot imagine using something else.

I tried everything possible, from setting alt + F1 as shortcut in the application launcher settings to editing config files. The only solution is to download a 3rd party tool from github name ksuperkey and set the shortcut there.

try this, maybe it still works

ksuperkey[0] addresses this, though it is unfortunately not widely packaged so you likely have to compile it. I haven't used it in a while, but it worked well when last I did.

There's a program called ksuperkey which is what I use, the first time you run it it's funky but if you re-log it works like a charm. It basically just sends an ALT+F1 whenever you hit Meta, so all you have to do is set your keybind to that and it should work

By default you cannot use the super key alone and then combine it with other keys toform new shortcuts. The super key will always "overlap" with the other keys. Sowhenever you press the super key, it will open the shortcut defined for it, in your casethe whisker menu. I don't know why this happens. But to solve this you needksuperkey: ksuperkey - github

New to Sway and I'm quite fond of it so far but what I haven't found a wayland replacement for is ksuperkey. I would like to launch wofi with $mod/meta alone and nothing else. Is this currently not possible?

https://github.com/hanschen/ksuperkey hasnt been touched in nearly 2 years? To add an xfce mention..

I checked the syntax on the GitHub Page to find how to create more keymappings

You can use the -t flag to change how long it takes to timeout (I believe it's in ms) and you can use -e to change what it maps to. You can check the full instructions on the github page.
