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

 

Sebastien Bacher, bug #1220204 is not related to bug with updating keyboard icon and selected keyboard layout.
I've install update of gnome-control-center from proposed repository and restart the unity session, sets ctrl+shift for switching to next layout (I've two kbd layouts, en and ru), and if I press ctrl+shift keyboard layout switching to next (ru->en, en->ru) but icon and selected layout (in the menu of keyboard indicator) has not updating. Bullet on left side of the layout name remains on the "English" item, although what the layout actually selected.

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)

  === 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.
