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.
