The problem with the win(mod4) bind [solved]

Bunsenlubs — Openbox

I was sitting changing the shortcuts, setting up auto-loading
sometimes "Prefernces > Keybinds > Return", it didn't work and I logged in.

At some point, the "win" key stopped working adequately.

now when I press "win" while typing, it creates spaces.

these are the shortcuts that don't work

"/home/r0-bl/Downloads/Telegram/Telegram.exe"
  Mod4 + Shift + t

# Show main menu
"jgmenu_run"
    Mod4 + Space

# Terminal
"x-terminal-emulator"
   Mod4 + t

and at the same time, these shortcats work

# Show dmenu
"~/.config/dmenu/dmenu-bind.sh"
    Mod4 + Shift + d

#flameshot
"/usr/bin/flameshot gui -d 3000"
    Mod4 + Print

I'm pretty sure I didn't change anything in the files

# /etc/xdg/openbox/rc.xml
# ~/.config/openbox/bl-rc.xml

From memory, I don't remember what should be in all these files and I don't see any errors by eye.

Logically, there was probably some kind of conflict with the bind on the win key.

How to understand what is happening? and how to solve it?

Re: The problem with the win(mod4) bind [solved]

From The Bunsenlabs Lithium Desktop,
under heading: Default BunsenLabs user configs

Package bunsen-configs, contains some default user configs, to give the user  a functional and aesthetic desktop experience "out of the box".
The config-files are stored in /usr/share/bunsen/skel/* and are copied to users home on first login.

When user-configs is upgraded, the script bl-user-setup will popup a question if you want to import files into ~/.
If you have made significant changes to your config files, you can decline the popup's invitation and run 'bl-user-setup' in a terminal to make decisions for each file separately.
Or, you can allow all imports, open file ~/.cache/bunsen/bl-setup/log, to get the list of overwritten config files and use a diff program like meld to examine the differences and eventually copy back some settings.
Delete old backups to facilitate maintenance.

More info with command 'bl-user-setup --help'

You can resett your config files to the defULT with command:

$ bl-user-setup --reset
