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.

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!
