ctrl is not working in some apps

[AcrobaticPanicc]

After installing kinto, in the terminal, pressing ctrl + c or ctrl + v works as expected. However, when using Firefox, pressing ctrl + c results in only the v button is actually pressed and the copy/paste functionality is not working. I verified it with screenkey.

This answer actually helped me to solve the issue with Firefox (and other apps), but result in the ctrl key to not being recognized by my terminal, which then caused me to reinstall kinto, and face the same issue as before.

Expected behavior The ctrl + c / ctrl + v should work across all apps

From the referenced link this sounds like a strange problem with the Control key specifically caused by using VMWare. Like maybe VMWare is binding to the Control key in a bad way. Other than the offerred solutions like running setxkbmap a lot, and restarting Kinto (shouldn't need to reinstall), there may not be much Kinto can do about this issue.

But I'm not the Kinto dev and have no knowledge of the root of why this is happening.
