map your windows key to the applications menu on ubuntu 9.04

I was just staring at my now defunct "windows" key on my laptop's keyboard and thought, surely I can turn that little windows icon into something useful at last...well as it turns out, there are a number of things you can do but here's what I chose....

lets map it to the applications menu giving basic cursor access to all options.

  1. System > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts
  2. From the "desktop" category select “show the panel’s main menu”
  3. With this selected, press the “windows” key on the keyboard
  4. Close the window, you're done
