[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1244158] Re: GNOME: Modifiers Only keyboard layout switch have no effect
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 1218322 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1218322 Hi, I found a way to make the Alt + Shift keyboard switching working in Gnome 3 (tested with 3.28.2). First examine this current setting: dconf read /org/gnome/desktop/input-sources/xkb-options (in my case it was empty) Then set the appropriate options, e.g.: dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/input-sources/xkb-options "['grp:alt_shift_toggle']" Now I can switch the keyboard layouts with Alt + Shift. (Earlier I might deleted all the Alt + Shift + * keyboard shortcuts, I am not sure... It is permanent, should work after logout + login and reboot. To add the keyboard layouts, press Super key (default) and type/search for "Region & Language" and add them under "Input Sources". Hope it will help many people! :) (I was inspired by https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/68/gnome-3-22-disable- altshift-keyboard-layout-switching but it did the opposite thing.) -- 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.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1244158] Re: GNOME: Modifiers Only keyboard layout switch have no effect
Using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS with Gnome 3.10.4 Have a slightly different though clearly related problem: I disabled all switching of keyboard layouts and have just a single adjustment in the gnome-tweak-tool: Namely, in 'Typing' I set 'Switch to another layout' to the button 'left Win (while pressed)'. Hence I would expect to have the layout switched whenever I keep this button pressed. Layout indicator does not switch also on other window managers I used besides Gnome but the actual keyboard layout switches. Interestingly, it works properly if I switch manually to the secondary layout, which is from English (primary) to German (secondary), and then press the left Win key: the layout switches back to English while pressed. The other way around however does not work. When English is set as standard and then Win key is pressed, nothing happens.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1244158] Re: GNOME: Modifiers Only keyboard layout switch have no effect
Just another comment, I was able to work around this issue in 14.04 by changing the keyboard layout setting to apply globally instead of per- window. -- 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.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1244158] Re: GNOME: Modifiers Only keyboard layout switch have no effect
I believe I'm seeing the same bug in Ubuntu 14.04. I'm using Caps Lock to switch layouts (set using gnome-tweak-tool). With the English layout: $ setxkbmap -query rules: evdev model: pc105 layout: us,il variant:, options:grp:caps_toggle And with the Hebrew layout: $ setxkbmap -query rules: evdev model: pc105 layout: il,il,us variant:lyx,, options:grp:caps_toggle (Not sure if it should show two ils in the layout field). After using Caps Lock to switch from English to Hebrew, further presses only change the indicator, but the keyboard continues to type Hebrew keys. I have gnome-control-center version 3.6.3-0ubuntu56 installed. -- 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.

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.
