Same key codes for multiple keys

Hi guys!
I’ve wanted to switch to Linux for a long time, but I’m always disappointed. I have tried different distros and the same thing happens.
However, I like “manjaro” and I don’t want to give up.

My problem:
The keys, ctrl, super, alt, shift perform the same action.

They all do the shift action. I Can’t use basic keyboard shortcuts like copy or paste … for example if I press ctrl + x it writes X

I am testing with XEV
and the ctrl, super, shift, alt keys show the keycode> 50

KeyPress event, serial 37, synthetic NO, window 0x3e00001,
root 0x6cb, subw 0x0, time 4569671, (45,-19), root:(864,217),
state 0x10, keycode 50 (keysym 0xffe3, Control_L), same_screen YES,
XKeysymToKeycode returns keycode: 37
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False

KeyRelease event, serial 37, synthetic NO, window 0x3e00001,
root 0x6cb, subw 0x0, time 4569799, (45,-19), root:(864,217),
state 0x11, keycode 50 (keysym 0xffe3, Control_L), same_screen YES,
XKeysymToKeycode returns keycode: 37
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False

Already I have tried remap, change keyboard layout, language, etc.

Any solution?
