I am using VSCode on linux (fedora) and I want to bind the super key to:

"editor.multiCursorModifier": "super"

but currently, the only options are ctrlCmd and alt (which doesn't work because it toggles menu navigation).
I don't want to change it to ctrl+click because it's handy for links and function definitions, but multi-cursor editing is also very useful, and I can't make both happen with my keybinding options.

hi, any progress on this?

Currently i can only have 'editor.multiCursorModifier' set to ctrlcmp and lose the ability to ctrl+ click ( now alt+ click) on things,

or don't use 'editor.multiCursorModifier' at all, since ALT is being used by Desktop Env to drag windows.

being able to set "super" is a very good idea.

I have the exact same problem. I'm using a window manager where alt is used to drag windows, so I need to remap editor.multiCursorModifier, but I find Ctrl+Click way too handy to want to change it to that.

I'm able to map the super key on Ubuntu by calling it win. For example:
{ "key": "win+j", "command": "workbench.action.navigateEditorGroups" }
