I have a 2020 build ANSI keyboard, and definitely have the super+arrow key issue. Super key by itself works, but not in combination with other keys. External keyboard works and the built in keyboard behaves the same across distros (Manjaro 20.04 and 20.06 KDE, debian)
I've scoured the forum (both here and Manjaro) and it seems to be agreed that if your Pinebook Pro was made in 2019 you should update the keyboard firmware, but I have a 2020 batch. Someone else asked a similar question to this as part of this Majaro i3 release, but with no conclusion.

It seemed that there is some risk is updating the firmware as some ended up with bricked trackpads or other boot issues after attempting. I'm hesitant to try the update if I don't need to. For the time being I remapped global window tiling shortcuts to shift + arrow.
Any thoughts on this? I'm just concerned that we maybe made a bad conclusion that this was resolved in 2019 where I'm fairly certain it's still out there.
