I'd like to bind my "windows" key so that it opens the dash home.

I've been unable to do it since the shortcut editor seems to only allow bindings having 2 keys sequence only.

So basically do the same as Alt + F2 but with the "Windows" key.

By default Ubuntu enable the Super key (Windows logo) to open the Dash. The Alt + F2 shortcut is designed to enter a command quickly. What do you want to do? I recommend you to see this article – Lucio Nov 1 '12 at 0:25
Well my "super" key does not start the Dash then, And it is a fresh install without any customization – Grk Nov 1 '12 at 18:00

I tried binding again with CompizConfig Settings Manager but hitting my super key did not change anything, like if the key was dead. – Grk Nov 1 '12 at 18:10
Doesn't change anything because the ccsm doesn't recognize your key or it does? – Lucio Nov 1 '12 at 19:46
ccsm does not recognize my key. Btw it's a logitech G15. Could it be related to that? – Grk Nov 1 '12 at 20:09
