Still failed for me.
I always used Right Ctrl to switch layouts.
Now UI let's me set it to "Control R", but it does not switch layout at all.
It does not let me set Alt+Shift displaying this shortcut as "Shift+Alt+Next Group".
Does not let set two shifts.
Ctrl+Alt does not switch layout if set.
Super+Space does not switch layout and type space in the editor.
Caps Lock does not switch layout if set.
Only Ctrl+Space works.

Bug description:
  A PPA which should provide some relief for this issue is available at
  https://launchpad.net/~attente/+archive/1218322. There still remain
  issues regarding keyboard shortcuts though. To install:

  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:attente/1218322
  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get upgrade

  === 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.
