F12 is really a stupid setting (see link provided by @hikohan ) But if you are still using BookwormPup64 then you have 3 more options:
Alt+F1
Right Winkey (Super_R)
Ctrl+Left Winkey (Super_L)
And then there is the right click option on desktop, and a Menu button in the tray ... did I miss anything else? Who needs 4 different keyboard shortcuts for the same thing?Are you sure that you need another one? 
The JWM keyboard shortcut thing tells me Mod4 + E triggers the default file manager, which works (winkey + E), so I guess Mod4 IS my windows key.
In this case the Windows key acts as a modifier (in JWM speak a "key mask"), the key getting "masked" is E. Look into file /root/.jwm/jwmrc-personal and find the keyboard setting
<Key mask="4" key="e">exec:defaultfilemanager</Key>
But I thought Super L was the windows key
It is. That's the name you use when you use the (left) Windows key as a normal key (and not as a modifier or "key mask"). This key can be used alone or in combination with one or more modifier keys, Example:
<Key mask="C" key="Super_L">root:3</Key>
Here mask Crtl + key Super_L triggers root:3 (the main menu)
, moreover I cannot just select a "mask key" to trigger an action, as a "key" is expected as well.
A mask key always works in combination with another key.
And Mod4 doesnt show up in the key list anyway...
because Mod4 is not a single key, it's a modifier.
It's probably clearer when you study the settings in /root/.jwm/jwmrc-personal
