My super key randomly stopped working and I have been trying to rebind my super key. Currently to use the super key I must do (Fn + Super) I am not sure if I set it to this or it switched to this and as a result I couldn't use the super key.



I have an Alienware 17 R4.



I have tried going into the bios and turning on Fn lock but that did not change the super key.



I believe I need to use xmodmap but i am new to Linux and need an experienced person to help me come up with the exact procedure because the man pages make no scene to me
