Désactivez la touche SUPER pendant les applications en plein écran

Existe-t-il un moyen de désactiver la touche SUPER pendant les sessions de jeu ou les applications plein écran en général?

introduction

Le script suivant désactive la Superclé si une fenêtre X11 est en mode plein écran. Il est destiné à être ajouté en tant qu'application de démarrage, mais peut également s'exécuter en mode autonome.

Usage

Pour exécuter le script manuellement, il suffit de faire:

python disable_super_key.py

Pour que le script démarre automatiquement lors de la connexion, consultez Comment démarrer automatiquement les applications lors de la connexion?

Obtention du code source du script

On pourrait copier la source du script à partir de cette réponse, ou l'obtenir via le clonage de mon référentiel GitHub .

Instructions pour ceux qui ont git:

1. cd /opt
2. sudo git clone https://github.com/SergKolo/sergrep.git
3. chmod -R +x sergrep

Le script sera situé dans /opt/sergrep/disable_super_key.py

Débogage

Si le débogage est nécessaire, changez la ligne 32 de debug = Falseen debug = Trueet exécutez le script à partir de la ligne de commande
