GNOME has already moved most of the desktop/window manager shortcuts to the
Super key precisely for this reason.

Typical system shortcuts are:

 - Super + L: screen lock
 - Super + Home: move to first workspace
 - Super + End: move to last workspace
 - Super + PgUp: move to previous workspace
 - Super + PgDown: move to next workspace
 - Super + Tab: switch between applications
 - Super + Up: maximize window
 - Super + Down: restore window

GNOME has additional shortcuts that make sense within GNOME, like tiling
left/right; opening the applications launcher; opening the overview
(exposé); or opening the list of notifications. All of them use the Super
key.

Ciao,
 Emmanuele.
