I think I may have a similar issue:

> setxkbmap -query                                                                                                                                                                          
rules:      evdev
model:      pc105
layout:     fr,us,gb
variant:    ,altgr-intl,
options:    compose:caps

but gnome input selector only has fr and en Eng intl with alt dead keys en
when using the en input in gnome, some applications see keyboard shortcuts in azerty (vscode, intellij) while others receive them as qwerty (chrome, firefox)


using 
sudo setxkbmap -option compose:caps -variant ,altgr-intl fr,us 

I was able to fix the issue. I had only ever touched the settings
through gnome interface so it seems there is a way to corrupt xkbmap
settings by clicking in the gnome settings.

thanks dmitrii for your very helpful comment, thanks to that I was able
to fix my setup !

Title:
  hotkeys do not work when xkbmap uses a regional layout instead of
  en_US, gnome input source is ignored

Status in Inkscape:
  New
Status in inkscape package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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:
