@Sebastian:

It's quite difficult to untagle the various issue. At first glance I see
three basic problems:

- ability to change the keyboard layout switch to an arbitrary set of
modifiers, even without a normal key in the sequence, and make the
switch wrap-around (otherwise it's a pain for people with just two
layouts).

- independence of the results  from the order of press/release of the
modifiers.

- possibility to remap Caps-Lock (which in my experience is one of the
most used switch-key by the people that commonly writes in multiple
languages like me) without it acting as a Caps-Lock, and reassign the
Caps-Lock function to another combination (say, shift lock).

Obviously, all of this should work in coherency with the indicator. I
will test it with the Ubuntu Gnome configuration, HTH.

Bug description:
  === 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)

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

  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.
