While I disagreed with this change by the core devs, they removed the ability 
to set a single key to be used to trigger actions (a la Win key) unless they 
are Function keys. This is why I've at this point mapped the left and right 
Win keys to F13 and F14 and the context menu key to F15. Unfortunately this 
makes it impossible to have the Win key bind in combination for events, like 
the Win+R shortcut in Windows. If I have the time, I'll likely patch that 
again to re-introduce this aspect for my builds.
