Xfce? All keyboard shortcuts involved the Meta key won't work.
-
Which keyboard shortcuts do you mean specifically? I think I fixed this exact issue earlier today!
-
Meta+arrows key to shift windows around
Or is the key call Super? I know for sure it's the "Windows" key.

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!

They work just fine.
The only thing that does not work is just binding meta only akin to win key to open the start menu for example.
