There's already an upstream bug for this:
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-37994

I've attached a possible patch (fixes it for me on desktop, am testing
on phone for good measure).

I'll note that on xenial desktop, Ctrl already was fixed.  But Alt did
hit this bug.  I'm not sure why Ctrl worked...

But the patch fixes it explicitly at least.  I'll put it on the upstream
bug tracker.

Title:
  Modifier ignored when pressing a key if TextInput has active focus

Status in Canonical System Image:
  Triaged
Status in qtubuntu package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  On a phone with a bluetooth keyboard connected, with the following
  standalone example, if I press Ctrl+T I expect the message "Ctrl+T
  pressed" to be printed on the console, but instead the Ctrl key is
  ignored and "t" is inserted in the text field.

  import QtQuick 2.4
  Item {
    TextInput {
      anchors.centerIn: parent
      width: parent.width - 20
      height: 100
      Component.onCompleted: forceActiveFocus()
    }
    Keys.onPressed: {
      console.log("key pressed:", event.key, event.modifiers)
      if (event.key == Qt.Key_T && event.modifiers == Qt.ControlModifier) {
        console.log("Ctrl+T pressed")
        event.accepted = true
      }
    }
  }
