Super Key, press the Left Mouse Button

Hello.

When I pressed the Super key on the laptop, it didn't open Activities. I used an online keyboard test, which showed that: When I pressed the Super key, It invoked the left mouse button. Any ideas on how it can be fixed?

Welcome :slight_smile:
Just post your garuda-inxi from terminal as text.
I do not use gnome. Super key is the M$ win key?
This one open the application menu in KDE.
Let’s wait and see what our GNOME users have to say about this.
Have you already searched the Garuda forums?

Yes
Have you already searched the Garuda forums?
Yes, but didn't find similar issue

I think you are already using Gnome.
What do you think?

Oh, that was my text :slight_smile:

Has this behavior started recently, or has it been this way since the installation in November?

What extensions are installed?

Any changes to the keyboard layout? Have you been using the xmodmap utility for anything? Do any applications you use set a custom keymap? Have you set up any custom keybindings?

This behavior started yesterday

Bluetooth battery indicator
Caffeine
Clipboard Indicator
Color Picker
GSConnect

Tactile

No, changes

You may add additional information to a post by editing it, instead of making multiple small posts with scattered information. Consolidating those five posts into one would make the thread easier to follow.

Try disabling all extensions and reboot to see if the new behavior is tied to an extension being broken by an update.

Disabled all extensions and restarted the computer. Didn't help

Try booting into a snapshot from before yesterday, and see if the snapshot has the old behavior or not.
