Fix gnome-shell overview shortcut for Kinesis Advantage2 keyboard

My Kinesis Advantage2 keyboard's Super (windows) key doesn't trigger the Gnome Shell Overview by default. This is because the Super key on the keyboard is actually a right Super key. We can fix this by installing gnome-tweaks (sudo apt install gnome-tweaks) and picking the right Super key as the Overview Shortcut in the Keyboard & Mouse section.
