Answer 1

In Ubuntu System settings you have to either desible shortcut for Ctrl+Alt+Left/Right or use Ctrl + Windows Key + Alt + Left/Right

Answer 2

I'm using ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

1. Go to System Settings -> Text Entry -> Keyboard Settings (bottom right of the screen).

2. On the keyboard dialog, click on Navigation tab. Then scroll down to "switch to workspace left" and select it and click backspace to disable it.

Your android studio shortcut should work now.

Answer 3

I just found out that my IDEA 2018.3 in Ubuntu 18.04 automatically uses default for GNOME keymap, and the Back/Forward shotcut turns out to be Alt + Shift + Left/Right, no need to change any system settings.

Answer 4

The solution by @lászló-van-den-hoek here was correct, but I had to take one more step.

Go to File | Settings | Keymap in Intellij and change the Keymap from Default for GNOME to Default.

I think this has been tripping people up since Ubuntu switched from Unity desktop to a GNOME based desktop, and now Intellij is starting up with GNOME appropriate hotkeys.

Answer 5

In my case:

1. Click the keyboard on the right of UI ==> Input Method Configuration will appear.
2. Click Global Config and then Show Advanced Options.
3. Remove Hotkey Saving All Confg and Input History.

Ctrl + Windows + Left/Right ; Ubuntu 20.04, IDEA: 2020.1, works for me
