Super (windows) key not working in Dell Ubuntu 22.04
Hello, just got a Precision 5940 shipped with Ubuntu 22.04.
The "super" (aka "windows") key is not working.. I use it a lot for example for moving windows on a right or left side of the screen (using SUPER+arrow keys).
Even more "strange" if I enable multiple keyboards and check the layouts I can see that the super keyboard got actually catched when I press it, but somehting in the middle is blocking from working as expected :-///

I stumbled upon a package called "dell-super-key" that might be affecting you:
~~~
$ dpkg -l | grep dell
ii dell-canonical-logo 6 all Install the dell-canonical-logo in gnome-control-center.
rc dell-eula 1.21 all Dell End User License Agreement
ii dell-recovery 1.68somerville14 all Dell Recovery Media Creation Package
rc dell-recovery-bootloader 1.68somerville14 all Bootloader configuration for Dell's factory process
ii dell-recovery-casper 1.68somerville14 all Dell Recovery Casper Hooks
ii dell-super-key 0.05 all Disables the super key by default and changes the key bindings to CTRL-ALT.
