[Bug 1218322] Re: Can't set keyboard layout change to alt+shift, ctrl+shift, etc.
Having the most recent packages from the -proposed, I noticed some
strange and different scenarious.
Firs of all, on my laptop running GNOME 3.8 from the GNOME3 PPA:
1. I _am_ able to change the keyboard layout with the (now default) Super+Space combo; however,
2. Whenever I press my old combo of choice (Shift+Shift), the layout (whichever is activated) is changed to a English one despite me not even having it on the layout list. What is even stranger, despite keyboard layout being switched to an English one, I see the indicator's label changing as if it is normally cycling through the layouts. No matter how many times I would press the aforementioned combo, I am unable to switch back to any of the layouts on my list. Solution: to press Super+Space or with the mouse.
Secondly, on another laptop running Unity:
1. I am _not_ able to change the keyboard layout with the default Super+Space combo, nothing happens when I press it. Or rather it just inputs a space wherever the input cursor is.
2. I _am_ able to change and cycle through the layouts after changing the default Super+Space combo (which does not work) to Shift+Alt.

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.
