Public bug reported: When "Show position of pointer when the Control key is pressed" option in "Mouse and Touchpad" settings is ticked, the ability of keyboard shortcuts is affected, so that in order to trigger the shortcut action, one needs to press the bound key twice.
Example: When tilda is configured to toggle its visibility to "<Control>space", and the option above is set in the same time, you have to press <Control>space+space to get tilda visible/hidden. This bug may trick users to believe the shortcut is not working. This seems to affect most of <Control>-related shortcuts.
