Superkey suddenly changed behaviour and acts as a CTRL-key

  • 772

My Superkey/Win-key suddenly changed its behaviour and is now a second ctrl-key. I did not do anything to change it. At least not intentionally.

How to change it back to the original behavior?

Additional Info:

  1. The problem was, as often the case, in front of the monitor. :-) My keyboard, TT esports Poseidon ZX, has a key to turn off the Superkey(winkey), which I did not knew about.

    After toggling it again and turnin off the functionality everything worked as expected again.
