After tinkering way too long with this and searching for answers, i found none.
My Problem: My Super (Win) Keys are not working, not even recognized anymore.
I am not sure when it started, maybe a week or two ago. That is quite frustrating.
When i try to open the Keyboard Utility Programm, it opens, i can choose the keyboard type Generic 105 but if i choose something different the app crashes.
If i press ALT+F1 the whisker menu does pop up, when i want to change that keyboard shortcut in the Keyboard Utility App, it does not let me put any new Keyboard Shortcuts in there. It says i should press keys but nothing gets noticed.
I tried all the solutions i found in the forums, including mapping the left and right win key in Xorg
00-keyboard.conf:
System Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
VC Keymap: de
X11 Layout: de
X11 Model: pc105
X11 Options: compose:lwin
Found a way. Install xcape package and run xcape -e 'Super_L=Alt_L|F1'. Now you should be able to use the mod/win/super key. If this works then you can add the command in “Session and Startup” > “Application Autostart”.
It shows every key, other than the Super Key, even the ALT Keys.
I am wondering how that can be disabled, IMHO, is it possible that i have a Keyboard Map without that key ? Or can this be disabled ? I mean the SuperKey, in some config ?
I was thinking the same, but as i have three different keyboards here. I tried them and it is all the same. I also tried different USB Ports, so that the system has to reconfigure. But no luck.
[x@Manjaro ~]$ xbindkeys --key
Press combination of keys or/and click under the window.
You can use one of the two lines after "NoCommand"
in $HOME/.xbindkeysrc to bind a key.

This is related to the compose key. Do you have xorg-xmodmap installed? Also look for the “Compose” property under Settings > Keyboard > Layout > Compose disable it.
$ xbindkeys --key
Output for the SuperL_Key:_

I was aware, that i have used the “no-dead-keys” Keyboard Map in the past and that worked fine for me. I could not find that however in the Keyboard Utility it just says there “Generic 105”.
Also, “de-latin1-nodeadkeys” is what i usually choosed under Debian (for me as a german)
However, i am not sure what caused the change as i have not changed the keyboard…
Maybe i screwed up the Xorg config, i am not sure. The only thing i can say is, that when switching things around with localectl, it started to work again.
Have fun! Hope it helps someone!
And, thank you all who helped and the Manjaro Team.
