How do I get the super key working properly in Emacs?

  • 772

I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS with emacs 23.

When I am in org-mode and I hold down control, windows key and hit return, I see: "C-s-return is undefined"

In org-mode it tells me that C-S-RET will insert a new TODO entry which is what I want.

How do I get the super key to work properly? (assuming that is the problem - not sure why its displaying the small S rather than the capital but I am guessing that is something to do with it).

    The issue is related to the capital/lower case S.

    S as a modifier refers to Shift whereas s refers to super.

    C-S-RET means Ctrl+Shift+RET in this case (and others referencing C-S-<key> rather than Ctrl+super+RET.
