I wonder if you can help. I recently upgraded to 18.10 and with that I can't use the keybindings I am used to. I fixed some other issues with dconf-editor and the Keyboard menu on settings but I can't find what catches Alt, I would appreciate any guidance to learn how to change ubuntu (I want to keep using the keybindings I used in intellij for years)

EDIT 0 : I used 16.04 with unity before and the keybindings where ok.

EDIT 1: Some examples of keybindings that I use a lot: Alt + Space, Alt+Shift+F7, Alt+= there are quite a few that are Alt based.

EDIT 2: I guess the ideal solution would be to have a way to list the key shortcuts ubuntu uses and then I can write a script to ensure the key bindings I need are left free... alternatively perhpas there is a way to tell ubuntu to not catch most keys when intellij is running

Well I have managed to do most of what I want with some help from this (answer) [What is dconf, what is its function, and how do I use it? the TL;DR is use gsettings list-recursively | egrep "*Alt*"

to find the where the keybindings are used and then the dconf-editor to change those settings. If there is a more systematic way to do this, that would be great.
