I'm using Ubuntu GNOME 16.10 and recently I noticed that by pressing Alt+Left changes from the GUI to the tty.

I use that shortcut regularly and this behavior interferes with my workflow.

How can I disable it?

Only workaround I can find is to run sudo kbd_mode -s, which fixes it in the current session for me.

I'm not sure how to use that to fix it permanently, or what the root cause is.

I got here because my alt+left was not working as a custom shortcut on phpstorm on ubuntu, but I realized that my problem was when I modified the default alt behavior to key to chose the 3rd level (to use accents with left alt).
