** Summary changed:
- Ubiquity sets Alt+Shift shortcut for layout switching, while installed system
uses Super+Space
+ xkeyboard-config, console-setup, and ubiquity should use Super+Space for
switching keyboard layouts
** Description changed:
+ Super+Space is default combination for switching keyboard layouts in
+ gnome3, unity, Mac OS X, Windows. Thus for consistently, Xorg; console-
+ setup; and ubiquity should also use Super+Space combination for
+ switching keyboard layouts.
+
+ reading xkeyboard-config sources and documentations i don't see that
+ xkeyboard-config can support grp:lwin_space and i guess that needs to be
+ the first step to properly support super+space.
+
+
+ Original bug report below:
+
+
Recently I installed Ubuntu 13.10 and Ubuntu GNOME 13.10.
I use two keyboard layouts - English and Russian.
So I select them on the corresponding screen of ubiquity setup wizard.
It quietly set the keyboard switching shortcut to Alt+Shift and wrote this
setting to /etc/default/keyboard:
# ...
XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBLAYOUT="us,ru"
XKBVARIANT=","
XKBOPTIONS="grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll"
# ...
On first boot of installed system the small notification pop-up showed
that Ibus will use Super+Space for layout switching.
Please fix this configuration inconsistency.
