Created attachment 124434 [details] Keyboard layout settings SUMMARY If a keyboard layout that includes level3(ralt_switch) is set as the default one (top of the list) and "Ctrl position > Swap Left Alt with Left Ctrl" is checked then the left Meta key seizes to function and the Left Alt key instead is recognized as the Meta key in global shortcuts. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Add a layout that includes `level3(ralt_switch)` - for example: English (Workman) 2. Put the new layout at the top 3. Try using a shortcut that includes the Meta(Windows) key - for example `Meta + L` to lock the session 4. Try again using `LCtrl + L` (I mean the physical `LCtrl` key) OBSERVED RESULT The global shortcut does not work when using the `Meta` key. The global shortcut instead is triggered with the `LCtrl` key. EXPECTED RESULT The global shortcut should work with the `Meta` key as that's what it's mapped to and that's how it works with other layouts. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.16.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.62.0 Qt Version: 5.12.4 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I think this started happening with Ubuntu 19.04.

Please check both X11 and Wayland. Also, what behavior do you see in other DEs e.g. Gnome?
