Unfortunately, the previous poster snipped the most important part of 
the OP.

"I'd like to replicate this on Kubuntu, but when I use the Win key as a 
"Window Shortcut" in the app or "Keyboard Shortcut/Command Shortcut" via 
Control Centre/Regional.../Global Schemes nothing happens.

Oddly, using the Win key for Global Shortcuts in Control 
Centre/Regional... works fine.

Anyone know the trick?"
