Superkey and ZorinMenu support

I have been following Zorin for a while because I really like the Desktop Environment and have installed it several times. (This post is being made from Zorin) but the reason I cannot stay on Zorin is because the windows key cant open the menu, this breaks the OS for me and makes it unusable, I know many other people also feel this way. Are there any plans for this to incorporated in a future version? I am running 11. In dconf there is an entry for superkey to open the ZorinMenu but it seems to be broken. Seems very hard to support the claim of Zorin being Windows user friendly while lacking such basic functionality (even if the OS looks sexy AF)

Hi, I have covered this elsewhere on here - you need to install GnoMenu to bind the Windows key, which is what I did on the system I am currently running - Zorin 9 32-bit Ultimate:

Once installed you can add it to the panel in AWN Preferences | Applets ;) :D
