Are you sure?

If you bind Super_L to an action currently, yes, it breaks W-* bindings;
the Super_L binding eats the KeyPress event, and the combo bindings
never see the modifier key.

However, I would intuitively expect that if you bind "Super_L
KeyRelease" to an action, but leave the W-* bindings alone, then since
nothing is bound to the KeyPress the W-* bindings would still be able to
see it - and if you don't press another key, but just release Super_L,
it would trigger the single-key binding.

If someone has done the work to create a KeyRelease binding, and
discovered that it doesn't work that way, I'd be interested to know it.
But so far I haven't found any indication that anyone has even tried.
