Win key stopped working for layout switching and showing activities in Gnome Shell
Multi tool use
0
I had my win key to be layout switcher (Super+Space) and it worked as Activities toggle.
And it stopped working in both roles.
What is happening? It is Ubuntu 18.04, which is supposed to be LTE. Damn buggy sh1t.
I did nothing with keyboard settings.

@LeonidMew No, it doesn't work. I can't just set up 'Super' to any action there. Both dconf and gnome tweak tool are not working as well.
