Ubuntu – Keyboard shortcuts don’t work for intelliJ

intellijkeyboardkeyboard-layoutshortcut-keys

I am using Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS, Xenial with KDE. System is in German, I have Cherry Keyboard in German layout and I can't use IntelliJ keyboard shortcut.

For example, with "Comment with Block Comment" Ctrl+Shift+/, this combo doesn't work with German layout. I tried to change Keymap in IntelliJ as in screenshot, but nothing works

Any suggestions much appreciated .

This seems to be an old issue in IntelliJ: Keyboard layout stop switching sometimes

The current workaround is to change Input Sources order in Settings -> Region & Language and put your desired layout first. No IntelliJ restart required.
