[Bug 1218322] Re: Can't set keyboard layout change to alt+shift, ctrl+shift, etc.
Unfortunately, for [at least] Caps Lock as layout switching key current state definitely not Fix Released. Just some workaround available. So... After update to 3.8.5-0ubuntu11.1 from saucy-updates/main (environment restart required): What is OK: * Caps Lock could be set as next/previous layout switching key via System Settings-Text Entry * When Caps Lock is set as layout switching key original Caps Lock function could be achieved via Shift+Caps Lock, Caps Lock LED for Caps Lock function works OK What is broken: * Caps Lock could not be set as next/previous layout switching key via System Settings-Keyboard-Shortcuts-Typing * Each layout switch with Caps Lock key resets original Caps Lock function state to off, so there's no more Caps Lock function, just some kind of sticky Shift * No ability to use Caps Lock LED for current layout indication (already reported as separate bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-gnome/+bug/1245188 ) And last but not least...

@nrbrtx Totally agree. Going to support idea with separate bugreports (after this bug will be closed of course). By the way, this bug is the most heated at the Saucy tracker now - 2620 currently (other bugs has about 750 and below), so it looks like a _real_ problem, not just minor defect. ...And don't forget about LED indicators (Caps, Scroll, ...) for keyboard layout indication - that was _very_ handy feature too. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1218322 Title: Can't set keyboard layout change to alt+shift, ctrl+shift, etc. To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+bug/1218322/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
