<title>What is the <key>Super</key> key?</title>
<p>When you press the <key>Super</key> key, the <gui>Activities</gui>
overview is displayed. This key can usually be found on the bottom-left of
your keyboard, next to the <key>Alt</key> key, and usually has a Windows logo
on it. It is sometimes called the <em>Windows key</em> or system key.</p>
<note>
<p>If you have an Apple keyboard, you will have a <key>⌘</key> (Command)
key instead of the Windows key, while Chromebooks have a magnifying glass
instead.</p>
