Hello everyone,

I just joined! How would one make the Prefix Key for Stumpwm only the Super key (the windows key on keyboards)? I've been looking at how to do that, but making it
(set-prefix-key (kbd "Super")) doesn't work, and (set-prefix-key (kbd "S")) makes it the 'S' key.

Thanks so much for your help with this!

;; change the prefix key to something else
(set-prefix-key (kbd "s-."))

I use Windoze . to prefix Stump commands.

Hi Brandon,

Take a look at:
https://github.com/stumpwm/stumpwm/issues/810#issuecomment-693706057

However I prefer to use the Menu key and keep Super as modifier:

(set-prefix-key (kbd "Menu"))

Stefan.

Thank you Stefan, that was exactly what I was looking for, and I didn't
see it in my original github search!
