Ubuntu 18.04 Keystroke Alt + Shift + (Ctrl) + Down does not work












4















After upgrade from Ubuntu 16.04 LTS to 18.04 LTS (with unity) the keystrokes Shift + Alt + Down and Alt + Shift + Ctrl + Down stopped working (btw Alt + Shift + (Ctrl) + [Up, Left, Right] works).

I used these keybindings in PHPStorm/Webstorm. In these programs you can search what a key binding does by simply pressing those keys and when I do, Webstorm does not display/catch these keystrokes, like if they were not pressed.

I searched in CompizConfig Settings Manager advanced search in settings value, in the Settings/Keyboard/Shortcuts and with gsettings list-recursively | grep Down and I didn't find anything.

If I press this combo outside of Webstorm Ubuntu does nothing.

Have you any idea where this keybinding could be saved?



PS: I tried this tool (screenkey) to display pressed keys. But it didn't display Alt + Shift + Down or Alt + Shift + Ctrl + Down



Thank you for your help

  • @JoshuaBesneatte Thank you for your reply, but this is not that case. But I looked on the Switch applications option and I have this option as disabled, but pressing Alt + Tab switches applications, which is weird

In my case it luckily was just about re-mapping the keys in Settings->Keyboard->Shortcuts.



Here, moving the active window up/down was defined as Shift+Super+Page Up/Down, same without Shift was applied for moving one workspace up/down.



Re-mapping to what I was used to ([Shift+]Ctrl+Alt+Up/Down) did the trick :-)

    After deeper investigation I found out, that this issue is a hardware keyboard problem.
    I tried this keystroke on windows and it also was not recognized.

    I have Roccat Isku keyboard.
    At work I tried the same upgrade from 16.04 to 18 and replacing gnome with unity and this keystroke worked (I have different keyboard at work)

      Gnome Tweaks helps me to fix it!




      1. Go to Keyboard & Mouse > Additional Layout Options.


      2. Turn off all options for "Switching to another layout".

        Instead of turning off "Switching to another layout" as suggested above, you can switch other than ctrl-alt combination.
