[Tex/LaTex] Texstudio shortcuts not working after upgrade to 16.04

shortcutUbuntu

after the upgrade to Ubuntu 16.04. I have a problem with my Texstudio. I used to compile with the shortcut F6, but after the upgrade it doesn't work anymore (shortcuts in other programs are doing fine).

Thanks in advance,
Luca

This seems to be a known (and unfortunately, by now, rather long-standing) issue involving Qt5 (version 5 of Qt, the graphical toolkit used to create TeXStudio’s user interface). It has come up several times in TeXStudio’s bug tracker and other places; for example:

The solution is to install a version of TeXStudio that is built against the previous version, Qt4. Unfortunately, such a version is not available in Ubuntu’s default repositories. Instead, you can go to TeXStudio’s official download page and choose a link that says “QT 4”.
