    Description

      I use .Xmodmap config on Linux to replace 'Ctrl' button with 'Alt' button.
      Here is it:

      clear control
      clear mod1
      
      keycode 64 = Control_L
      keycode 37 = Alt_L
      
      add control = Control_L Control_R
      add mod1 = Alt_L 
      

      I use it for a long time and everything work fine. But Qt Creator > 3 builded with Qt5 works strangely.
      Actually Qt Creator detects new key map and old one.
      For example:
      I want to copy-paste something. I press Alt(which is mapped to Ctrl)+C and selected text copied to buffer but also menu bar is activated. So if I press 'F' button after it - File menu will be opened.

      Basically it makes Qt Creator hotkeys unusable. And hence, Qt Creator.

      This bug appears only in Qt Creator >3.0
