These keys are the "Super" modifiers.
You can emit an event for the left-hand one with
xdotool key Super_L
(use Super_R for the right-hand one)
To maximize the current terminal on Ubuntu with Unity, run
xdotool key "Ctrl+Super_L+Up" > /dev/null

That command example obviously depends on what window manager you're using and how it's configured... Oct 7, 2016 at 8:10

This seems to simulate Super+Shift instead for me. And weirdly pressing Super+Shift+any letter in my console prints some kind of networking/hosts list. Jan 21, 2021 at 12:56
