Re: [platform-swt-dev] SWT Event for the Windows key

Yes, the Windows logo / Super key is not
supported by SWT, and support is not planned.

"The Super key is intended as a
system-level key, and should not be used by applications."

Hi,

I was asked why we (platform.ui) don't have a mapping
for the Windows key in our SWTKeyLookup class located in JFace.

AFAIK there is no SWT key event for the windows button.
If that is correct, is their a reason for this? Is it planned to add this
event?
