But the Super key is a modifier. Key combinations involving a modifier
(sometimes called "chords") are appreciably harder to perform, and more
likely to lead to RSI, than sequences of single keystrokes. I would
rate even a 1-2 sequence starting with the dreaded function key as
easier to type than something like C-h (h is exactly midway between the
2 Control keys on my keyboard).
This also applies to C-z, alas. But at least the components of that
chord are very close to each other on typical keyboards where I live.
Or have you managed to remove the modifier status from the Super key? I
tried to do something like that a couple of times and I remember it was
close to impossible. That was in the days of xmodmap, though. I don't
really expect it to be easier with xkb, but maybe you know more about
this stuff?
