Subject: Re: Keyboard Win-button on Linux system

Which file on a Linux system contains keyboard specs?
What is that file's name and in what system directory can it be found?
I tried 'locate /key | wc' and found there are 730 files, so I don't
know where to begin to find the file that needs to be edited.
Is it feasible to edit some particular file to either neutralize or
redefine/respecify what functions that key should perform?
As it is now, I've just removed the keys from the keyboard
to put a stop to the problem.
