[Bug 1218322] [NEW] Can't set keyboard layout change to alt+shift, ctrl+shift, etc.

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Jan Groenewald (jan-aims):

=== gnome-control-center ===

Impact: the UI to change the layout switching keys doesn't work

Test case:
- open gnome-control-center's text input settings
- click on the "next layout key" entry
- try entering a key combinaison (e.g ctrl-space)
-> the UI should reflect the new keys

Regression potential: that UI was not working before, it should only be
an improvement (some key combos are not working as expected, that's
another issue and shouldn't be mixed with this one)

=== gnome-settings-daemon ===

Impact: attempting to change keyboard layouts using only modifier keys
doesn't work

Test case:
- add at least two input sources through gnome-control-center's text entry settings
- use gsettings to set the input switching shortcut to ctrl+left shift: gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-input-source "['<Primary>Shift_L']"
- press and release ctrl+left shift
-> the current input source should change

Regression potential: The input switching shortcut might capture other
non-modifier shortcuts, but users will need to consider this when
choosing their switching shortcut anyways. For users this bug affects,
this represents a working solution for a critical bug.

----------------------

Can't set keyboard layout change to ctrl+shift, Caps Lock, alt+shift
etc. "Shift", "CapsLock" keys are just ignored in settings. Also the
default shortcut was set to "Super+Space" that is inconveniently,
because Dash is opening when you swich your keyboard layout.
