Xubuntu, combinations Ctrl+key don't work when I use Ctrl as hotkey for switching keyboard layout

Question

On Xubuntu 18.04 I'm using hotkey right Ctrl for switching keyboard layout. And now I can't use any combinations with Ctrl+ in applications.

And for example if I use Alt for switching layout, combinations Alt+F4, Alt+Tab also doesn't work.

How to fix this?

Update. Solutions for Ubuntu Gnome and Ubuntu Mate don't work here. I can't add second hotkey for switching layout in Xubuntu/xfce.

As a solution I installed xcape - https://github.com/alols/xcape

Follow instruction from README.md how to install it on your system.

Then run

xcape -e 'Control_R=Alt_L|Shift_L'

and add the command to the autorun.

Pay attention that your command may be different if you don't use Alt+Shift as default shortcut for switching keyboard layout.
