Those kernels are also in the AUR, Manjaro has put them in their own repo also, something we don’t do, to keep the repo light and easier to maintain.
Hmnm - another place where rEFInd might help. It is possible to turn on mouse detection/usage in rEFInd boot manager - and sometimes it works! that would let you select whatever to boot without having to edit anything after the initial setup (even by trackpad, if that is there).
Just sayin’…
I’m unsure about reFind, never used it before.
What is the issue with no arrow keys working on grub menu?
That I’m unable to pick another kernel.
Somehow this doesn’t work anymore.
Are they listed but you can’t select them, or you can’t find them at all?
They are listed but can’t select them.
It used to work some time ago, but now the arrow keys do nothing.
Is your keyboard working at all in the boot menu? If that’s the case, try another keyboard. Preferably a wired keyboard.
It is a laptop.
Hmm, funny, I wanted to boot the non-lts kernel by altering the /etc/default/grub
Changed the line GRUB_DEFAULT=0 to GRUB_DEFAULT=2 but it still boots the lts kernel… 
After changing that file you have to give commands:
sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
reboot

Thanks to my poor short-term memory, I can always say I don’t make mistakes. 
If I do, they’re just happy (little) accidents.

After I rebooted with the new kernel, the screen started to flicker after a few seconds and I wasn’t able to turn the laptop off.
A reboot resulted in no errors for a couple of hours and then the screen starts flickering again…
Until now with Chromium only.
So not all good atm.
This morning I had to reboot three times to get a working machine.
The first two attempts I ran into a black screen and there is nothing I could do.
There two time no grub is shown, it skips that and the screen stays black.
Weird isn’t it?
I didn’t have this while running the lts.

this sounds pretty common
I have a Dell too.
It’s quite unusable now, so I had to revert back to the lts.
Otherwise it starts to flicker again and freezes.
I’ve reflashed my bios again to see if this would help to use the arrow keys again to pick another kernel.
But no, gotta live with it I think
