I have installed Kubuntu 18.04 with KDE on my home machine.
I usually use Ctrl + Shift for switching keyboard language layout, but that setting breaks Ctrl + Shift + ← and Ctrl + Shift + → selecting by word behavior (or any other hotkey containing Ctrl + Shift) — instead of selecting text by word it switches keyboard layout. I have switched to using Alt + Shift for language layout switching, but that interferes with JetBrains' IDE hotkey Alt + Shift + L (or any other hotkey containing Alt + Shift) — instead of intended action in IDE it simply switches keyboard layout.
On another machine with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS I successfully use both layout switching hotkeys without any issues, so there must be something I'm missing in keyboard configuration. The question is: why regular keyboard layout switching hotkey interferes with global system hotkeys effectively overriding and breaking them? How to fix that behavior?
