Ctrl+Shift+Key not working
When i select shift+ctrl to switch layout, any other hotkeys with Shift+Ctrl+Key stop working. For example i cant open new tab in terminal.
I've read some articles about that issue but they all are old and don't provide any solutions
Can anyone help me?

Re: Ctrl+Shift+Key not working
Same here!
This issue is so annoying, I came here just to find anyone who is struggling cuz of it as well.
I used to switch layouts with ctrl+shift, but cuz of issue I can't even paste smth to terminal with ctrl+shift+v now, because it switches layout and types 'V' symbol on different layout

Re: Ctrl+Shift+Key not working
Same thing here.
I noticed that Ctrl +Shift +[Key] shortcuts were not working in Intellij Idea. At first I thought there was something wrong with IDE settings, but then I turned off layout switching shortcut and it worked.
On Mint 18.3 I had the same shortcut for layout switching but never had any issues with it, problems appeared after installing Mint 19. (clean install)

Looks like it's a Xorg bug that can be fixed by updating from this ppa: https://launchpad.net/~nrbrtx/+archive/ ... rg-hotkeys
