I’d like to map a key to replicate the Windows key on my keyboardio. Does anyone know what key definition to use? i’ve looked at the [keycode meanings](https://github.com/keyboardio/Kaleidoscope/wiki/Keycode-meanings) page on github, but nothing is jumping out at me…

I think that should be the `Key_LeftGui` (or `Right`) key.

The “Windows” key is Key\_LeftGui, which in the default Model01 layout is mapped to the key labeled “cmd”.

And just to round out the perceived Windows-specific keys, the “context menu” key on a Windows keyboard is Key\_PcApplication, which is mapped to Function-Butterfly in the default Model01 layout and labeled “Menu” on the reference card.
