Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS
Linux version 4.15.0-33-generic
WHAT I EXPECT TO HAPPEN:
"R-Shift + L-Shift" hotkey combination doesn't change keyboard layout when not
configured to do so.
WHAT HAPPENS INSTEAD:
"R-Shift + L-Shift" changes keyboard layout even when not configured to do so.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My machine is set up to use "L-Alt + L-Shift" combination for switching
keyboard layout between English and Russian. The command I use to
configure this combination:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.input-sources xkb-options
"['grp:lalt_lshift_toggle']"
With this setting Ubuntu also reacts to "R-Shift + L-Shift" combination
and switches the layout as well. This is very irritating, since when
typing the C code I often need to use macros like
MY_MACRO_WITH_UNDERSCORE, where I naturally hit both shift keys when
typing a capital letter after an underscore. The issue appears only when
the R-Shift is hit before the L-Shift and not the other way around. The
issue doesn't appear when I disable my switch combination with:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.input-sources xkb-options "['']"
I also disabled default Super+Space and Super+Shift+Space combinations,
although that doesn't affect the issue. I didn't set any other keyboard
combinations for switching layouts. The issue appears both in the
terminal and in GUI applications.
