Description:
"Win" Key can't be mapped as Meta/Hyper even set the "Meta is mapped to win keys" in the "Keyboard Layout Options" from gnome-control-center.
Since GNOME upstream has some modify on the behavior of win key, shortcuts like "Super+r" will not work if Win key is mapped as Super, so I need to map win keys as meta/hyper. However even mapped the win key is still recognized as "Super" in shortcuts settings.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:
[1]Open gnome-control-center, go to "Keyboard".
[2]Open "Layout Settings" in Typing tab.
[3]Open the options of the current layout.
[4]In "Alt/Win key behavior", set "Meta is mapped to Win keys" or "Hyper is mapped to Win keys".
[5]Go back the gnome-control-center -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts
[6]Add a custom shortcuts using win keys like "Win+r"
[7]The shortcut is still recognized as "Super+r"
This task depends upon
