Tested in Cinnamon 3.0.7. It works fine for me. @phisigma, is this still an issue for you in Cinnamon 3.0?
I tested it with a live CD with Linux Mint 18 (uses Cinnamon 3.0.6), and there is no improvement. Does really everything work fine at your system? So changing the layout includes using another physical key, when you want to hit Super + D? I don’t use Cinnamon anymore, and just released that MATE has the same problem.
@phisigma, I am sorry, I misunderstood your issue. I can confirm that it works as you described in your original post.
These bugs are still present in Cinnamon 4.0(.10) Most of them can be circumvented (temporarily) by choosing NEO2 as the only layout.
The most pressing issue to me is that the right Alt key (AltGr on the German QWERTZ) works as Mod3 and not as Mod4, thus hampering the big navigation advantages of the NEO2 layout.
System: Kernel: 5.1.5-zen1-2-zen x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 8.3.0 Desktop: Cinnamon 4.0.10 Distro: Arch Linux
Go to Preferences → Keyboard → Layouts, remove the already existing layout and add German and German (Neo) instead. A keyboard applet with the German flag should appear in the task bar.
Now check if Super + D is set for showing the desktop (similar to Windows OS). (If not, go to Shortcuts → Windows → Show desktop.)
Finally, hit Super + D to minimize all your windows, change the layout by the applet with the flag and hit again Super + D (now another key!). This does not work, because the position of D changed (to ö respectively :; key). Instead you have to hit the same physical key like before on the “normal” layout.
Tested under a fresh Linux Mint 17.3 64 bit (with Cinnamon 2.8).
