@Chris
         Well the specification comes from Microsoft. It states the bios will send Super + P .. wait .5 seconds and then send a return. If another keypress happens in between that .5 seconds the bios is not to send the return.


         What this is doing is bringing up the windows video dialogue and pressing enter on it.

         For Ubuntu & Linux distros this brings up an interesting
situation.
