Bug Description
When activating Pointer Location function, I cannot use any other Ctrl-based shortcuts. Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, Ctrl+X, etc. just stop working because Pointer Location is fired up once Ctrl is pressed.
I think that shortcuts should work as follows: shortcut bound commands should be activated after keys are released.
(BTW, don't know whether it's OK to write here but I've never had such issues with Windows OS, because no shortcuts interrupt one another there and it's very important nowadays because shortcuts help saving one's valuable time).
OS Name: Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS
