"Screenshot 1"

When I'm trying to change keyboard language with alt+shift shortcut, "Edit" menu pops up (look at the Screenshot 2) and I have to close it in order to continue typing.

Same story with alt+shift shortcut to move the bullets, but in this case it even worse: shortcut dosen't work because of popping up "Edit" menu.

This bug was seen on

• Linux Mint 18.3 with Cinnamon DE;
• Ubuntu 16.04 LTS with Unity DE;
• Xubuntu 16.04 LTS with XFCE DE.

  Thanks for reporting this. There are many keyboard-shortcut bugs on many different platforms that are on our list to fix sometime. But first, fixing the slow loading times on mobile!

  3 years and still not fixed? Wish you would fix bugs instead of adding new features.  
  Why doesn’t anybody write software that actually works as documented. The keyboard shortcuts are clearly documented - and don’t work.  Please fix them!

  I too would like to see this shortcut problem for Linux fixed, and wonder why it hasn't been fixed for over 3 years.

  Workflowy app is an Electron app and I think this bug is related to https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/28088

  Disabling the default Linux alt-shift as the “change keyboard layout” shortcut via Linux settings seems to allow the Alt-Shift Workflowy shortcuts to work.

  Issue remains if you want to be able to change keyboard layouts with Alt-shift.  
  My apologies for hamming Workflowy team for not fixing this.
