Public bug reported:

Symptom: hotkeys do not work at all. It seems to only affect letters
themselves while Ctrl, Shift or Alt are interpreted (as shown in a bar
at the bottom of the UI).

➜  ~ echo $XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP                                   
ubuntu-xorg

I do have two keyboard layouts enabled, however, I used en_US in Gnome
while trying to trigger any hotkey actions.

# the first one is the one used currently as this is an MRU list
➜  ~ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.input-sources mru-sources                                 
[('xkb', 'us'), ('xkb', 'ru')]

The default Inkscape hotkey file is used, so, for example, undo should work just fine but it doesn't:
/usr/share/inkscape/keys/default.xml
...
  <bind key="z" modifiers="Ctrl" action="EditUndo" display="true" />
  <bind key="Z" modifiers="Ctrl" action="EditUndo" />

I sniffed around little bit and found out that XKB layout was set to
'ru':

➜  ~ setxkbmap -query

rules:      evdev
model:      pc105
layout:     ru,us,us
variant:    ,,
options:    grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll

After changing that to 'us' via setxkbmap shortcuts immediately started
to work (without inkscape restart):

➜  ~ sudo setxkbmap -option grp:alt_shift_toggle us   
➜  ~ setxkbmap -query                              

rules:      evdev
model:      pc105
layout:     us
options:    grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll

Doing this via CLI, however, somehow breaks switching language in gnome
itself (changes are present in the MRU list but input is localized and
is not switched).


The only suspicious message I found in syslog after that was this:

Title:

  en_US, gnome input source is ignored
