libinput uses evdev(4) + libxkbcommon. FreeBSD unlike Linux configures
libxkbcommon to use "xorg" rules by default, so you need the following
in order to get modifer keys (e.g., Super or Windows key) work correctly.

  # Add to xorg.conf(5)
  Section "InputClass"
          Identifier "keyboard defaults"
          MatchIsKeyboard "true"
          Option "XkbRules" "evdev"
  EndSection

Note, on Wayland "export XKB_DEFAULT_RULES=evdev" to make it global for
all compositors.
