[Solved] KDE & Cinnamon: Keyboard shortcuts not working in some apps

Hi all,

I am unable to use the keyboard shortcuts In applications like Skype and KeepassX and this happens only under KDE and Cinnamon. Things like Ctrl+W to close a chat in Skype or Ctrl+V to perform a Keypass auto-type are not working. Everything is working as expected under Gnome Shell, Xfce, xmonad, i3, and, I guess, everything else.

I've tested KDE under Debian testing and Cinnamon under Linux Mint and they're working as expected.

Does someone else experience this?

It doesn't look like if there is someone interested, but the problem is that the main layout I've set in both those environments is not US. The reason I've set my secondary layout as primary is that my preferred shortcut for switching -- Meta+Space -- is only working one-way in KDE and Cinnamon if US is the main layout, and working as intended if I swap it with the secondary.

I do not know how both problems are related.
