ok i finally figured it out

i was thinking that mod4 was windows key because i was reading that in one of the guides that i was following

it works when i use Super_L instead of mod4

Thank you for posting your solution! I've been trying to work on a similar problem and that helped a lot!

run the command xev from a terminal, then press any key and it will tell you what key it is
