Thank you.

However I think it should be possible to remap Mod4. Why? For two reasons:

1. It should be possible to remap EVERY key.

2. Some users, for example me, don't need the overview mode very often. 
For them it is more efficient to use a key kombination instead of a 
single key for that purpose and keep the single key available for 
something used more frequently.
