I used the following instructions given from a Romanian gentleman and it
worked. Source: http://askubuntu.com/a/113517
As the best previous answer appears to be commented afterwards by the
user as not working anymore, I will give here an updated perfected
version of a quite successful workaround. Sorry not to be able to
provide a more scientific less empirical approach, I am not an advanced
user, just had the luck to get what I want in this case and want to
share this, maybe as a temporary patchwork. So, bare with me. I use
Xubuntu, maybe some instructions are limited to that.
My solution is this (my case is English-US as default, second French,
third Romanian standard - replace accordingly):
Go to Setting Manager - Keyboard - Layout, and set the languages in the
preferred order (delete them and add them in order to achieve this). Go
to the properties of the xkb plugin and make the same settings in the
same order with the same default language.
Open the file
/home/username/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/keyboard-layout.xml
Edit it to look similar to this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<channel name="keyboard-layout" version="1.0">
<property name="Default" type="empty">
<property name="XkbDisable" type="bool" value="false"/>
<property name="XkbLayout" type="string" value="us,fr,ro"/>
<property name="XkbVariant" type="string" value=",,std"/>
</property>
</channel>
Open the file /home/username/.config/xfce4/panel/xkb-plugin-##.rc
Edit it to look similar to this:
display_type=1
group_policy=0
default_group=0
never_modify_config=false
model=pc105
layouts=us,fr,ro
variants=,,std
toggle_option=grp:alt_shift_toggle
compose_key_position=
Open the file (as root) /etc/default/keyboard
Edit it accordingly:
XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBLAYOUT="us,fr,ro"
XKBVARIANT=",,std"
XKBOPTIONS="grp:alt_shift_toggle"
Maybe not all these are necessary to make it work, but just in case...
