google chrome - Ctrl+Shift+Tab in sometimes registers Ctrl+w, Ctrl+c, and Ctrl+x



  • Running Ubuntu 16.04

  • I've switched Caps Lock and Left Ctrl on my keyboard using gnome-tweak-tool

  • Pressing Shift+Ctrl+Tab should do just that

  • Instead, I have confirmed using a key logging utility that it additionally registers Ctrl+w, Ctrl+c, and Ctrl+x (and combined with the shift key, this creates Ctrl+Shift+w which quits the application

  • Seems to work or not work at random -- sometimes, it happens every time, other times, it doesn't do it at all

  • Very annoying


Answer



It turned out to be the keyboard itself. A different keyboard didn't have this problem.
