Using xfce, since recently every time I press the left Super key*) about less than a second xfce4-taskmanager is started, regardless of the program running frontmost. If I long press the key nothing happens. I can use Super in combination with other keys defined in Keyboard Settings->Application shortcuts quite well, timing is no issue here. xfce4-taskmanager is also bound there to CTRL-ESC.
I myself might have introduced the "feature", but I would not know when, and if I did it, it was unintentionally.
Anybody any idea how to remove this? It's only slightly annoying, but anyway.
Thanks!

What is the output of
xfconf-query -c xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts -lv | grep xfce4-taskmanager

Thanks for helping. Since the task manager was accidentally up again, I looked up all the tasks running, and terminating tasks here and there found xcape to be culprit running as "xcape -e Super_L Control_L Escape".
xcape is not in my startup commands, not mentioned in any file under .config or .local, it's not mentioned in my root .bash_history, so i don't know how, where and why it was activated. However, it's gone now, uninstalled.
To complete your request:
c@ASUS-Laptop:~$ xfconf-query -c xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts -lv | grep xfce4-taskmanager
/commands/custom/<Primary>Escape xfce4-taskmanager
/commands/default/<Primary><Shift>Escape xfce4-taskmanager
c@ASUS-Laptop:~$
But as said, removing xcape healed it.

Ah well, that probably explains this behavior where only a short press on the shortcut triggers the app. But I still wanted to check that nothing was lying around in the xfce shortcuts, just in case.
