I use CapsLock to select English keyboard layout and Shift+CapsLock to
select Ukrainian.

If I ever need to type a Latin character I used to hit the CapsLock key
and then continue typing.  I always hit Shift+CapsLock before typing a
Russian or Ukrainian phrase. Keyboard layout cycling never really worked
for me.

Since recent update I can use CapsLock key/Shift+CapsLock combo to cycle
between layouts but not to select the one I need.

I used setxkbmap as a temporary workaround, but it doesn't work any more
(it seems CapsLock key and Shift+CapsLock combo are being processed
before reaching the code controlled by setxkbmap). And if I set the
Shift+CapsLock combo as layout cycling shortcut, my guake terminal
window closes each time I hit the Shift+CapsLock combo which never
happened before.

I would like to suggest adding an option to the Layout/Shortcut settings
to set a shortcut for each layout selection.
