Intel Graphics uses these hotkeys for rotating the screen(Ctrl+Alt+Left/Right are used to rotate the screen 90 degree Left/Right). I have disabled Graphics hotkey, but still I was not able to use these hotkey in Intellij IDEA, then I changed the hotkey for Intel Graphics(Ctrl+Alt+F2/F3). Now I am able to Navigate Back and Forward with Ctrl+Alt+Left/Right.

In Gnome Ctrl + Alt + Left / Right are bound to switch-to-workspace-left/right per default.
To remove these keybindings, call:

 gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-to-workspace-left "['']"  gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-to-workspace-right "['']"
