Remapping Super_R key on Ubuntu

Sun, 08 Sep 2019 00:00:00 +0000

Ever since after switching my Dell XPS 15 to Ubuntu 18.04, I had a problem with the Super (Windows) keys when switching between the Laptop keyboard and my Steelseries 6gv2. The 6gv2 has no dedicated left Super key, it instead uses it as a function key. This is so that you don’t accidentally go to the desktop when playing games and hitting it.

So over the course of the past year, I used the GNOME Tweaks tool to force the Super key to be the right key. When using the laptop keyboard I pressed ALT + F1 to open the application drawer. While this is working, it bugged me out that I cannot simply using both keys, no matter where I’m typing on.

Setup & Deployment

Go Hugo!

This website is using gohugo.io as a static site generator. I first learned about hugo when Let’s Encrypt announced they migrated their website over to Hugo. I always wanted to create a personal website using a static site generator and previously tried out Jekyll and Hexo, though both had their quirks and I never finished deploying anything.

Hugo on the opposite was pretty straight forward. Heading over to https://gohugo.io/getting-started/quick-start/ and install it by simply downloading one binary file. No tedious setup of gems, npm packages, pip files or language frameworks. It just works out of the box!

Hey! I'm Fabian, a Principal Software Engineer at NiCE Cognigy in Düsseldorf.

I've spent most of my career on cloud-native software — designing it, architecting it, and keeping it running once it's in production. I don't think those are separate jobs.

A good part of the Principal role is talking to people: coordinating with stakeholders across teams, and figuring out where Cognigy's architecture should go next.
