[SOLVED for now] Use Superkey to Open Zorin Menu

I know what the rest of the internet said about how the Superkey is used for a bunch of features but I never used those features on Windows besides alt+tab feature which got remapped anyways. I just want to know how to make the Superkey open the Zorin menu when I hit it.

Hi, the reason why this no longer works is, from what I have gleaned from using the OS myself is that 'window stacking' means the 'Super' key cannot be bound to the Menu, you need to install GnoMenu in addition to the existing ZorinMenu and then just 'remove' the ZorinMenu icon from AWN leaving GnoMenu icon in its place:

sadly you can't, this problem was addressed to the Zorin devs and they did say that they would find a fix but that hasn't happened yet!.

Maybe one of them can shed some light on the matter?.

Thank you two, I will try GnoMenu and I hope the devs can fix this soon!

Hi, I don't think it is fixable as the key is locked in to 'Window Stacking' - therefore it has to be a decision as to where people would like to see the project/business moving with this regard. ;) :D
