Yeah that’s the exact issue I fixed yesterday: the Super (Windows) key is configured to open the whisper (start) menu and this overrides any of the other xfce keyboard shortcuts like moving windows around.
The fix was to go into Settings > Keyboard > Application Shortcuts and change the one that’s set by default to open the whisper menu (xfce4-popup-whiskermenu) to something else. I found some bug reports saying that the problem is that xfce doesn’t expect shortcuts that are “modifier only” (as in only the Super key), and once I changed that one then the shortcuts to move windows around suddenly started working.
No idea why distros ship with this configuration already broken, but hopefully this helps!
