By the way, the real, underlying problem is of course that overlapping shortcuts should be possible (like in Mac and Windows), which is caused by this XKB bug reported 14 years ago (and still active): https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=865
It is basically about activating shortcuts on keypress vs key release. ** Bug watch added: freedesktop.org Bugzilla #865 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=865 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1762952 Title: Alternative shortcut for layout switching Alt+Shift unexpectedly set by default Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu: New Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Version: Ubuntu 18.04 Final Beta with default Gnome Shell included in 18.04 Steps to reproduce: 1. Define two keyboard input methods in Settings -> Region & Language -> Input Sources 2. Open several applications 3. Observe that application windows can be iterated with Alt + Tab 4. Once application window iteration was begun with Alt + Tab, try to iterate backwards with Alt + Shift + Tab. 5. Try to change keyboard input method switching hotkeys in Settings -> Region & Language -> Input Sources -> Options. 6. Observe that Keyboard shortcut for "Alternative switch to next source" is set to "Alt + Shift" and that keyboard shortcuts can only be changed in Settings -> Devices -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts. 7. Observe that the shortcut for "Alternative switch to next source" is not available for configuration in Settings -> Devices -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts. Actual state: * Performing step 4 does not select the previous app in application switcher but instead changes keyboard input method. Expected state: * The shortcut for "Alternative switch to next source" can be changed and / or deactivated in Settings -> Devices -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts. Notes: * The above was working fine in Ubuntu 17.10. I assume "Alternative switch to next source" did not exist in that version of Gnome Shell.
