How do you navigate without a Windows key?

Question

Some laptops (such as thinkpads) don't have a Windows (super) key. How should users navigate Unity on such computers?

ccsm has an option for that

sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager

Alt + F2
type about:config and press Enter
change the "Key to Show the launcher" setting. (Note: Though the option is named to define showing the launcher it really defines the behavior of the key desktop wide.)

All the interaction/shortcuts are now using that key.
