  • Per the FAQ, questions about unreleased versions of Ubuntu (12.04) are off-topic. Do you experience this problem with 11.10? If not, please see http://askubuntu.com/q/18641/8724. – zpletan Mar 27 '12 at 21:35
  • In case someone finds this old thread, the answer below does not work anymore (at least as of 16.04) With newer versions, get Unity Tweak Tool, And go to Overview->Additional, and uncheck "Hold Super for keyboard shortcuts" – David784 Aug 24 '16 at 14:48

Right now this feature to disable isn't in Ubuntu yet.

You can set it by command line for now till the feature is available

gconftool --set "/apps/compiz-1/plugins/unityshell/screen0/options/shortcut_overlay" --type bool false

In case you get gconftool not found, then you can first install the package gconf2 either from Software center or command line

sudo apt-get install gconf2

Installing gconftool in USC

In my case it shows installed as I have already installed it

  • Perfect answer, thank you! Sorry about the dupe and asking about precise beta.. didn't want to raise it as a bug and waste developer's time! – James Mar 28 '12 at 16:45
  • Actually I am working on a tool called [Ubuntu Tweak](https://launchpad.net/unity-tweak) which will be out soon. [It is very easy to use](https://plus.google.com/104684638694714940046/posts/LCrvYWdMGTA) – Manish Sinha Mar 28 '12 at 16:50
