CTRL shorcuts not working

Answered

Hi there, I faced a problem where every shortcut which includes CTRL key sometimes stop working (absolutely randomly for me) in my IDEA (CTRL +C, CTRL + F etc)
I'm using Ubuntu 20.04.2 and IntelliJ IDEA 2021.2.2 (Ultimate Edition) Build #IU-212.5284.40
I've seen advice to delete vi/vim and it didn't help

Hi @... Please provide the IDE logs after restarting and reproducing the problem. (Help | Collect Logs and Diagnostic Data)

What keyboard layout do you use?

Try to temporarily disable all third-party plugins and invalidate caches. (File | Invalidate Caches... | Invalidate and Restart)

I still have this problem. I have two active keyboard layouts: pt-br and en-US international.

Alternating the keyboard layout from 1 to 2 then 2 to 1 when the problems happens makes CTRL work again.

In Linux, the iBus daemon is known to cause similar issues. Please run `ps -A | grep ibus` to figure out whether you have it. If you do, then please follow these steps at the moment you see the error:

  • prevent ibus daemon from immediate restart by sudo dpkg-divert --package im-config --rename /usr/bin/ibus-daemon
  • run sudo killall ibus-daemon
  • check if the issue is solved.
