Anki constantly hangs when I press the keys. (ctrl+shift+1)  
I’m used to pressing the keyboard layout switch this way. I try not to press them, but I press them periodically and the program immediately freezes. I’m already tormented by this. How to solve a problem. Not pressing is not an option, I’m used to it and sooner or later I’ll press it.

Unfortunately this is a long-standing issue with the graphics toolkit Anki is built on.

Thank you very much for your answer.

There must be some solutions. Except how to put a pencil on a key so as not to accidentally press it)))
