disable WindowsOS key, pop-up menu

I'm having an annoying problem: my keyboard shortcuts are associated with that "vestigial" key. I've been searching the configuration editor, but I don't know what to do. Is it possible?

ah, i think i see what you're saying: the window key(mod4) popsup the briskmenu, but there is no corresponding setting for that in the keyboard shortcuts settings..
and i'm not seeing anything for that in dconf-editor under briskmenu ..
seems like it's hardcoded into briskmenu ..
can only suggest removing briskmenu from the panel and using either the 'classic menu' or 'compact menu' ..
EDIT: ok, i see now in dconf-editor > /com/solus-project/brisk-menu/hot-key
or with gsettings ( in a terminal, normal user)

Code: Select all

gsettings set com.solus-project.brisk-menu hot-key ' '
to disable it.
