Pressing the Super key does not launch the Activities, although the hot key to the top left corner to activate Activities do work. I tried following the link here but the solution there does not work for me.

I am running Ubuntu 13.10, Gnome 3.8 Shell. I had a similar issue with Unity few days back but I resolved that via Unity plugin in ccsm.

    Go to org->gnome->mutter and then for the "overlay-key" put the value "Super_L" and its done!! Here Super_L is the left super key of the keyboard or the default windows key..

Having the same problem I ended up here. Though it was Super Left in the dconf-editor, my super key was not working. Inspired by adiyaarun1's comment, I opened up Tweak Tool—>Keyboard and Mouse. If you change Switch between overview and desktop to Super left the problem should be solved as it was my case.

  • In my case, using the HHKB Pro 2 and having set my super key to be on the right side of the keyboard, I had to switch that to "Right super". Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
