Hi Jesús,

yes, seems to be the only way to... :)

Sideeffect: There is no mod4/win on my keyboard... ;) ... I am
using an IBM model M of 1988...a time, when win-keys where 
pure science fiction.

Buth this doesn't nullify the idea of "make all keybindings unique"
in any way!

It seems there is a lot of work ahead for me :)

Thank you for your help and for your understanding!
Have a nice sunday!
Best regards,
