Hey good people of Ubuntu, Gnome and Ubutnu-Gnome, What information can I add to help fix this issue? - Selected keys on Gnome Tweak Tool for changing language: Alt+Shift. - Scroll Lock light should turn on when changing to Hebrew - My Num Lock light is always on (I always use Num Lock)
What actually happens hitting Alt-Shift: - It turns Scroll Lock light on - It changes the indicator from En to He - It makes the Num Lock lightturn on (otherwise of on my regular keyboard, whereas it is on on my Lap Top keyboard, and it does work as Num Lock...) - laguage stays English when typing. - When rehitting Alt-Shift Num Lock light turns off along with Scroll Lock light and everything returns to be English (obviously includding typing language which stays English...) When hitting Super+Space (on Region & Language's Input Source tab's Shortcuts it sais switching is by Super+Space for next source and Shift+Super+Space for previous source): - The OSD, probably Gnome's native, comes and allows me to select language. - Living it will change the typing language to Hebrew - Kipping it pressed allows the using of the mouse to select my language of choice. - Niether Num Lock nor Scroll Lock light turns on. Using Ubuntu-Gnome 13.10. No special added software. Updated to latest updates. WHat more can I add? Please help me help you help me!! ;-) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1244158 Title: GNOME: Modifiers Only keyboard layout switch have no effect Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: After setting up Alt+Shift keys to change the keyboard layout (via gnome-tweak-tool or via gnome control center), these key combinations do not provide the expected result. Expected Result: Keyboard layout is changed and keyboard indicator display updates Actual Result: Only keyboard indicator display updates, leaving the actual keyboard indicator in English. I have English-Hebrew keyboard layout configured with alt+shift for layout switching. Once the layout is on Hebrew, alt+shift switches back to English properly. Once the layout is on English, alt+shift changes the keyboard indicator to "he", but actually the systems layout is still English. At this point, pressing Alt+Shift results in changes to the indicator display only, resulting in no actual layout switches. If "Allow different sources for each window" is selected in "Input Sources Options" then: - Changing the layout to Hebrew. - Alt-Tab to another window with a different layout. - Alt-Tab back, allows me to type back in Hebrew. When Alt+Shift "switches" to English: $ setxkbmap -query rules: evdev model: pc105 layout: us options: compose:caps,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp,grp:alt_shift_toggle When Alt+Shift "switches" to Hebrew: $ setxkbmap -query rules: evdev model: pc105 layout: il,us variant: , options: compose:caps,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp,grp:alt_shift_toggle Which seems right. But still when typing, English chars are being typed. I tried this with the packages from the official repos, gnome-ppa, and ppa:attente/1218322 as described here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/356357/how-to-use-altshift-combo-to-switch-keyboard-layout-in-13-10 All with the same effect.
