Right now I'm using: gnome-control-center 3.8.5-0ubuntu1~saucy1 and gnome-settings-daemon 3.8.5-0ubuntu11.1 but none of the following makes any difference, as I tested all of these: $ apt-cache policy gnome-control-center gnome-control-center: Installed: 1:3.8.5-0ubuntu1~saucy1 Candidate: 1:3.8.5-0ubuntu1~saucy1 Version table: *** 1:3.8.5-0ubuntu1~saucy1 0 500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/gnome3-team/gnome3/ubuntu/ saucy/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1:3.6.3-0ubuntu45 0 500 http://mirror.isoc.org.il/pub/ubuntu/ saucy-updates/main amd64 Packages 1:3.6.3-0ubuntu44 0 500 http://mirror.isoc.org.il/pub/ubuntu/ saucy/main amd64 Packages $ apt-cache policy gnome-settings-daemon gnome-settings-daemon: Installed: 3.8.5-0ubuntu11.1 Candidate: 3.8.5-0ubuntu11.1 Version table: *** 3.8.5-0ubuntu11.1 0 500 http://mirror.isoc.org.il/pub/ubuntu/ saucy-updates/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3.8.5-0ubuntu9 0 500 http://mirror.isoc.org.il/pub/ubuntu/ saucy/main amd64 Packages -- 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/1244158 Title: GNOME: Modifiers Only keyboard layout switch have no effect To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/1244158/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Tested it in a fresh Ubuntu 13.10 GNOME LiveCD. This is how you set up the configuration: Go to Gnome Control Center»Region Language»Input Sources Add Hebrew as another layout. Open Gnome Tweak Tool and under typing»Keys to Change Layout select Alt+Shift. Open gedit and type in English. Alt Shift, to switch to Hebrew. Keyboard indicator is showing he, although while typing English chars are being shown instead. -- 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/1244158 Title: GNOME: Modifiers Only keyboard layout switch have no effect To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/1244158/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 1244158] [NEW] GNOME: Modifiers Only keyboard layout switch have no effect
Public bug reported: 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. Expected Result: Keyboard layout is changed and keyboard indicator display updates Actual Result: Only keyboard indicator display updates, leaving the actual keyboard indicator in English. I have English-Hebrew keyboard layout configured with alt+shift for layout switching. Once the layout is on Hebrew, alt+shift switches back to English properly. Once the layout is on English, alt+shift changes the keyboard indicator to he, but actually the systems layout is still English. At this point, pressing Alt+Shift results in changes to the indicator display only, resulting in no actual layout switches. If Allow different sources for each window is selected in Input Sources Options then: - Changing the layout to Hebrew. - Alt-Tab to another window with a different layout. - Alt-Tab back, allows me to type back in Hebrew. When Alt+Shift switches to English: $ setxkbmap -query rules: evdev model: pc105 layout: us options:compose:caps,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp,grp:alt_shift_toggle When Alt+Shift switches to Hebrew: $ setxkbmap -query rules: evdev model: pc105 layout: il,us variant:, options:compose:caps,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp,grp:alt_shift_toggle Which seems right. But still when typing, English chars are being typed. I tried this with the packages from the official repos, gnome-ppa, and ppa:attente/1218322 as described here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/356357/how-to-use-altshift-combo-to-switch-keyboard-layout-in-13-10 All with the same effect.
