xcape didn't work for me which is why I ran xev and xcape in debung mode. It seems xcape can't catch the event when the super key is pressed as no log is posted. As soon as I press the super key while the xev window is focussed, it starts catching the super keypresses again and xev appropriately reports esc or super has been pressed. But once I don't have the xev window in focus it doesn't seem to work. Any ideas?
