Bug Description
A good portion of the time, it seems very easy to accidentally hold the keys on too long, causing the app drawer to be hidden again. In a qemu VM, you seem to have to hold the shortcut on a while before it is triggered.
The scopes window can also be brought to the fore accidentally when attempting this shortcut.
I suspect the root cause here, is the binding of the super key showing to the scopes window, and presumably having to have tricks in place to avoid it launching the scopes if you hit another key within a timeout.
