Super shortcuts
Unix workstations of that era commonly featured Super keys located between the Control and AltGr or Meta keys (sometimes including a Compose key), but the eventual dominance of the IBM Model M 101/102-key layout would diminish the commonality of these keys.

Both keys became supported in the powerful Emacs text editor, which had, or would receive, influential ports on Multics, Unix, and many other operating systems, and saw wide adoption at institutions beyond MIT.īeginning in 1984, the X Window System (a graphical user interface standard for Unix-like operating systems) supported the Meta, Super, and Hyper modifiers, as well as the common Shift, Control, and Alt keys. The " space-cadet" keyboard, designed in 1978 at MIT for the Lisp machine, introduced two new modifier keys, "Super" and "Hyper", compared to the earlier Knight keyboard also used with Lisp machines. Present: Control, Alt Mode, ⇧ Shift, Meta, Super, Hyper, Top, and Greek The modifier cluster on the bottom-left of the space-cadet keyboard.
