A workaround that I found on reddit:
https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/5620sf/alt_rightleft_arrow_keys_switching_to_virtual/d8g6ux5/

I created /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/60-dontvtswitch.conf with the following
contents:

$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/60-dontvtswitch.conf 
Section "ServerFlags"
    Option "DontVTSwitch" "true"
EndSection

Now the Alt+Left/Right don't switch to the VT consoles.

But as a side effect it's not possible to switch to the VT consoles with
the usual Ctrl+Alt+F1...F12 shortcuts either.

So this is not good enough...
