Bug Description

Issue originally posted on Discord general channel: discord link

I can't use any shortcuts with Ctrl because the control panel pops up and blocks them. How to fix this?

I checked the shortcut settings in AppFlowy and I don't see the "Ctrl" shortcut to control the settings panel appearing.

When pressing Ctrl this pops up (see attached screenshot), so copying and pasting or any other shortcut with ctrl doesn't work

How to Reproduce

Open Appflowy
Press Ctrl key
Observe how the Settings panel opens up

Expected Behavior

The settings panel should not open up just by pressing the Ctrl key

Operating System

Windows 11

AppFlowy Version(s)

0.11.4

Screenshots

Additional Context

About 80-90% of the time when I press "Ctrl" while in AppFlowy it opens up the settings. For me this issue has occurred since a couple of months now across multiple updates
No response
