Cannot find "-" on the pinephone keyboard
#2
For me the minus key is under F7.

You might need to change the keyboard layout.

I think you can find the current configuration by going
Code:
# xkbcomp $DISPLAY output.xkb
(https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/X_keyboard_extension)

Look for the section that controls the number row, for me it's like

Code:
xkb_symbols "(unnamed)" {

    name[group1]="English (US)";

    key  <ESC> {         [          Escape ] };
    key <AE01> {
        type= "FOUR_LEVEL",
        symbols[Group1]= [               1,          exclam,             bar,        NoSymbol ]
    };  
    key <AE02> {
        type= "FOUR_LEVEL",
        symbols[Group1]= [               2,              at,       backslash,        NoSymbol
    };
...
    key <AE07> {
        type= "FOUR_LEVEL",
        symbols[Group1]= [               7,       ampersand,           minus,        NoSymbol ]
    };
...

Maybe your layout doesn't define the third level of keys. At least on PPP it was recently broken on Manjaro.

If that's the problem there is an updated keyboard map here

This is what I did for Manjaro plasma on PPP
