Fedora Linux 28:
Something is stealing certain key combinations. When I visit http://en.key-test.ru/ I can activate
CTRL-SHIFT-ALT-q
but not
CTRL-SHIFT-ALT-d
I have tried in both Firefox and in Chrome.
I went through my keyboard shortcuts, and there are no shortcuts defined for CTRL-SHIFT-ALT d. I can temporarily make CTRL-SHIFT-ALT-d activate an application.
When I run xev, I see the following when pressing CTRL-SHIFT-ALT-d:
KeyPress event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x3200001,
root 0x2ac, subw 0x3200002, time 2322960, (53,48), root:(1015,177),

If I run CTRL-SHIFT-ALT-q, i don't see the FocusOut/FocusIn/KeymapNotify events.
How do I fint out what is stealing/modifying my key presses?
A co-worker of mine has seen the same phenomenon when using Ubuntu.
