u/DS_Vet_on_Linux

I wanted to share something that some new users may overlook in Niri.

I got on my pc this morning and I couldn't use any keybind that required my super key. All the other binds worked, just nothing from super.

I checked logs, checked my .config files, reloaded niri. Nothing seemed to be working. And this is why I love Linux. I did a search and had the issue resolved in 5 minutes.

This might seem obvious to a lot of people, but check that your keyboard doesn't have a lock for your super key. Mine did. Issue was resolved.

Just wanted to share my user error with anyone in case it might help.
