[Bug 1218322] Re: Can't set keyboard layout change to alt+shift, ctrl+shift, etc.
Kim,
First try this:
Install gnome-tweak-tool (should pull in gnome-tweaks)
Than in the gui:
Tweak tool >> Typing >> Modifiers of input sources switch >> Alt shift.
First time, I was able to bypass this bug by installing Unity desktop
(planned on it anyway), and configuring the shortcut there. The settings
are transferred to gnome shell settings.
how-to install unity has been detailed here:
https://linuxconfig.org/ubuntu-20-04-unity-desktop
In case you want to keep it:

And how to remove it:
https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/remove-unity-desktop-ubuntu/
But my guess is that in gnome shell it was disabled intentionally as it breaks other shortcuts:

There are also some suggestions for command line config, but I did not try this:

Bug description:
[Impact]
Can't set keyboard layout change to Ctrl+Shift, Caps Lock, Alt+Shift,
etc. Shift, Caps Lock keys are just ignored in settings.
[Test Case]
- open gnome-control-center's text input settings
- click on the "next layout key" entry
- try entering a combination of two modifier keys such as Ctrl+Shift
-> the UI should reflect the new keys
- add at least two input sources through gnome-control-center's text entry
settings
- press and release Ctrl+Shift
-> the current input source should change
[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)
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.
