When attempting to use the Super key (commonly called the "Windows key") as a modifier in a keybind under Linux, Super is not acknowledged at all. Pressing Ctrl+Super+Left Click results in Ctrl+Left Click, Shift+Super+Left Click results in Shift+Left Click, etc. When assigned to a non-mouse control, pressing left Super on its own results in "LEFT GUI" being bound (my keyboard does not have a right Super, and so I cannot test that specific key). The Menu key correctly results in the non-modifier "MENU".

The specific control I am attempting to rebind is "Ping a map location", since by default Alt-clicking results in moving the window rather than passing the event to the application.

The key "works", it's just handled incorrectly by the engine.

Is that something that worked in 0.16? I am pretty sure the game handles only Shift, Ctrl, Alt and Command on macOS as modifier keys, so I am wondering if Super just happend to go through Command code-path in 0.16

I just tested, and it's treated the same way under 0.16.51 except that the key is called "SUPER_L" (and presumably "SUPER_R"). I just never tried to use it under 0.16 since there were no keybindings that used Alt as a modifier with the mouse by default.
