The desktop is stealing some of them, others are working just fine.

The issue has gone worse recently, sometime, but not allways worse.

Its been a very long time now since dead-key-requesting glyphs as â and ï cant be typed in scribus. As a consequence, i usually have them ready in a geany file, where i copy them and paste them in scribus when required.

But recently i've had also such issues as cliersch describe, where many other keyboard abilities disappear. Not allways. I've tried right now, and i can very well CTRL+X, CTRL+V, CTRL+A, CTRL+Z etc.

My ubuntu is 14.04 LTS.

This is not a bug within Scribus, those shortcuts arent even making it to Scribus. They work fine on other platforms.

i'm not stuck on ubuntu and could imagine switching to another platform since i'm quite new to all this linux stuff. but neverthless: they all work in version 1.4

Over here the same as well (Scribus 1.5.0, Ubuntu 14.04). Several shortcuts are not working although specified in settings > keyboard shortcuts. In Scribus 1.4.5 which is installed at the same computer all shortcuts do work.

Not working (just the ones I use most): Ctrl+Q, F2, F3, F6, ï

Working: Ctrl+W, F11, Ctrl+S

Hello novabs

I guess you have not compiled scribus but installed it via the PPA.

The scribus 1.5 PPA version for ubuntu 14.04 uses a bugged old version of Qt5
That's why you got these issues.

you can
- dist-update to ubuntu 15.04 (i didnt do it) and be able to use scribus PPA version that is compiled with a recent fixed Qt version
- install a more recent version of qt (see qt.io) and other required libraries and compile scribus (see 'maksvn' script)
 maksvn script

i had a similar problem with another qt based application (notepadqq).

with the latest version of the software, shortcuts did not work in ubuntu 14.4. upgrading to ubuntu 15.10 (the latest ubuntu) made them work again.

if there is a remote chance that scribus 1.6 gets published before ubuntu 14.4 (long term support) is out of support, we might want to have a look at this bug and check if anything can be done...

otherwise, people who want to try the development version of scribus might now required to get a current version of ubuntu. sounds fair to me...
