Thanks Kieran. I think either synergy or uinput could qualify as "some program left your keyboard in the wrong state" as mentioned in the kbd_mode docs. So those use cases are less surprising.
What I would like to know is what part of the normal desktop experience (gdm3/mutter/Xorg/gnome-shell/other) is creating similar issues and leaving the keyboard in the wrong state. It might also be something from pre-login. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1508146 Title: Alt+left/right arrows switch between tty consoles (Gnome Shell vanishes), cannot disable Status in gdm3 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in mutter package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I'm used to using alt+left/right arrow to navigate back and forward in web browsers and elsewhere (nautilus)... But on this fresh install of Ubuntu Gnome 15.10 beta, it seems to try and switch me between tty consoles (the ctrl+alt+f1 ones). But it's not listed as one of the shortcuts in the "keyboard" menu, so I don't know how to disable it...
