Preventing lsuper and rsuper events from reaching the OS

Hello,

I have tried searching for this (and likely just fail at searching), but couldn't quite locate an answer for this.

I want the lsuper and rsuper key press events to not trigger in the OS. (Opening the start menu in Windows for example.) How do I achieve this?

Thank you in advance, and sorry if there is a post describing this already.

I don't think you can do anything here. If the OS intercepts certain key presses or combinations, applications won't even be notified of the event occurring.

That's unfortunate. I was hoping for a way to keep people from bumping the "Windows Key" and leaving full screen, but I guess I'll settle for auto-pausing on the focus change.

Thanks for your reply.

I actually use the Windows key to leave full screen, although I do know I can use ALT+TAB, but it's one less key-press.
