Thanks for your report. This is an upstream GNOME matter, and should better be discussed there. OTOH, it looks like the discussion has already started.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/issues/1222 So possibly in GNOME 40 (Ubuntu 21.10). However, in the meantime you can use another mechanism for setting input source shortcuts. It's available in Tweaks (you need to install gnome- tweaks) and allows several combinations which can currently not be selected via Settings. ** Bug watch added: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/issues #1222 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/issues/1222 -- 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/1913218 Title: Obscure shortcut selector behaviour Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I'm trying to set a shortcut for keyboard layout switching, but it's impossible to use some keyboard buttons. Also, pressing some combinations leads to unexpected results. For example: - Shift+Ctrl - impossible to set - Shift+Alt - impossible to set - Ctrl+Alt - impossible to set - Shift+Ctrl+Alt - impossible to set - Shift+Alt+Space - this combination is being detected as "Shift+Space" - Cmd (Win) + any two or three keys is impossible to set (works with 4 keys though). Since Shift+Ctrl and Shift+Alt are very popular shortcuts (due to being default in Windows for ages), not being able to use them in Ubuntu is a pain. Reproduction steps: - Open gnome-control-center - Go to "Keyboard shortcuts" - Try to change any shortcut to one from my list System info: Ubuntu 20.10 gnome-control-center: Installed: 1:3.38.1-1ubuntu1 Candidate: 1:3.38.1-1ubuntu1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1913218/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
