Equivalent to the Windows key on a regular PC keyboard.

Meta, most likely. Window managers often use it.

It is the super key. It is a modifier key like Ctrl and Alt.
$HOME/.config/openbox/lxde-rc.xml lists these keybinds for the super/Windows key.

Thank you! Maybe I skipped something, but it looks like Raspberry Foundation didn't mention anything about this key, at least in manual from official Desktop Kit.
