Accidentally set “Left Control” as a shortcut to change typing language after updating Ubuntu
I Updated Ubuntu and made a critical mistake on key-bindings. I updated everything because I had a problem with a code (I still have it) and it asked me for shortcut to change language.
I gave Left Control (Dumb me) and now I can't use Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C etc.. I tried gsettings reset-recursively that I saw on a post here but it didn't work.
Any idea how I get to restore the defaults?

Use (GNOME) Tweaks to disable this left-Ctrl shortcut. Follow these steps:
Install the application by running
sudo apt install gnome-tweaks
and then launch it.
- Go to Keyboard & Mouse section.
- Click the "Additional Layout Options". A window should appear.
- Look for "Switching to another layout" and expand it. Disable 'Left Ctrl'.
