[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Searching for a solution of the super and hyper keys problem, I found that even though the superis not working as prefix, the use of Shift + s is interpreted as super, for example:
Shift + super + a is interpreted as s-aShift + super + z in interpreted as s-zShift + super + d in interpreted as s-d
and so on... 
Maybe you have experience with something similar. My definitely solutionwill be eliminating the use of super and hyper in my configuration. But I would like tolisten first some final comments/recommendations for you. 
Thanks
