  • Per the FAQ, questions about unreleased versions of Ubuntu (12.04) are off-topic. Do you experience this problem with 11.10? If not, please see askubuntu.com/q/18641/8724.

  • In case someone finds this old thread, the answer below does not work anymore (at least as of 16.04) With newer versions, get Unity Tweak Tool, And go to Overview->Additional, and uncheck "Hold Super for keyboard shortcuts"

Right now this feature to disable isn't in Ubuntu yet.

You can set it by command line for now till the feature is available

gconftool --set "/apps/compiz-1/plugins/unityshell/screen0/options/shortcut_overlay" --type bool false

In case you get gconftool not found, then you can first install the package gconf2 either from Software center or command line

sudo apt-get install gconf2

Installing gconftool in USC

In my case it shows installed as I have already installed it
