What keys do you press when you read "press <alt>+<meta3>+F9" in some instruction manual? Given that some keyboards might or might not have one or more "Windows" and similar keys present, there must be some table in X configuration files that maps available keyboard layout to names such as <super>, <meta1-4>, <alt>, <ctrl> and <shift>. The problem is where this information actually is and how to make it easily available for a newbie. After so many years of using Linux, I myself am still not sure what are super and meta keys on my keyboard. I never bothered to do a serious investigation of this, but certainly, one should not be supposed to use google and read configuration files in order to find out which key is where on the keyboard... Or am I missing something completely obvious here?
