ctrl + alt combo won't record on Webstorm with ubuntu 16.04

On Ubuntu 16.04 and Webstorm 2017 3

Webstorm won't detect keys ALT + CTRL pressed together.

For exmaple, I can't fire the Next and Previous shortcuts (CTRL + ALT + left/right).

When I try to record a shortcut, pressing both keys together won't record but CTRL + f for example will record fine.

 

Maybe this has to do with Ubuntu's Keyboard driver and not with webstorm ? 

Have any other Linux user reported this issue ?

 

regards,

what is your system keyboard layout? java returns incorrect key codes unless US keyboard layout is default and the first in the list; we have fixed it in our custom OSX JRE, fixes for Windows (https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/JRE-216) and Linux (https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/JRE-215) are in progress

Thanks. I have the French keyboard layout.

Can it work correctly on Webstorm on Ubuntu ?

So much work to get a basic feature working...

Please fix the shorcuts fo Unbuntu in a future release.

CTRL + ALT isn't recognized even if I switch to US keyboard.

What is causing Webstorm not to recognize the simultaneaous input CTRL + ALT

if it was the easy fix, it would have been fixed long ago, by either Oracle or JetBrains
