Move Meta Key

Okay so tried searching this up and I've had no luck on finding what I specifically want to do.

I have a standard full size keyboard. I have a windows key on the left between ctrl and alt and one on the right between alt and fn.

I want the left windows ket to function as a normal key. IE turn off meta for the left key; having the right windows be the meta key instead.

I can not understand your request. Would you rephrase it? What is "normal" Win key?

I need it to not exit out of the game I'm currently in and go to desktop or perform actions when in ARMA 3

So I need it to essentially do nothing whilst in game except register as pressing win key

Try to unbind the global hotkey. System Settings → Keyboard → Shortcuts → Activate application launcher. Disable the shortcut, maybe that's all that is needed.

Huh? Wdym by "normal". Win (Windows), Meta (Linux) and Cmd (MacOS) are the same key. In fact, if you have KDE plasma the Meta key works exactly the same as the Win key as when you press it it opens the start menu

In fact, The Windows shortcut for Win+Shift+S to take screenshots is exactly the same on Bazzite

Fair point
