The Super key opens the Activities overview.
You can usually find it next to the Alt key on your
keyboard.
What is the Super key?
When you press the Super key, the Activities
overview is displayed. This key can usually be found on the bottom-left of
your keyboard, next to the Alt key, and usually has a Windows logo
on it. It is sometimes called the Windows key or system key.
If you have an Apple keyboard, you will have a ⌘ (Command)
key instead of the Windows key, while Chromebooks have a magnifying glass
instead.

overview:
-
Open the Activities
overview and start typing Settings.
-
Click on Settings.
-
Click Keyboard Shortcuts in the sidebar to open the panel.
-
In the System category, click the row with Show the
activities overview.
