This bug is the main cause for bug 950160.

Super+P is the only way to tell Windows 8 to toggle external display.
It's expected that on new laptops come with Windows 8, BIOS will only
sends out Super+P for the hot key to switch external display, and this
key will not work in Ubuntu.

Super key should not be consumed by Compiz/Unity, if this key is used in
combination with other keys.  Compiz/Unity is not the only user of the
super key.  gnome-settings-daemon also uses this key for toggling
external display.

This is a design conflict between Compiz/Unity and g-s-d.  I would like
to see a real solution worked out. Otherwise, we should let Unity to
handle video-out keycodes, as proposed in
