Classification:

Bug

Reproducibility:

Always

Summary

Here's what I've done so far:

mapped <super>+h to keyboard.send_keys("<ctrl>+<f4>"), works
mapped <super>+h to keyboard.send_keys("<alt>+<f4>"), works
mapped <super>+h to keyboard.send_keys("<ctrl>+<alt>+<f4>"), doesn't work

Incidentally, keyboard.send_key("<super>") doesn't work either. Not sure if that is related to the original issue or not.

Version

AutoKey-Py3 version 0.90.4

This works (requires pyautogui):

import pyautogui
pyautogui.hotkey('ctrl', 'alt', 'F4')

Takes me straight to a VT.

Super key is probably swallowed by your desktop environment:
xfce4 - whiskermenu
KDE - plasma menu
and so on.

You can use xcape, but will not work in all use cases.
