Ladies and gentelmen, this is a farce. What age are we living in? For at least three releases they didn't care about GNOME lacking the keyboard indicator because of how they mixed up wrong versions of GNOME and IBus packages. It took 1.5-2 years to get this fixed. Thanks! Alas the rocket scientists at Ubuntu finally shot themselves in the foot. Again.
I upgraded my Ubuntu GNOME Remix to 13.10 few weeks ago and in GNOME this strange Super+Space combo *works*: both the actual layout and the indicator is changed. (But why on earth is this combo enforced as a default? I didn't ask for it: for the last decade I've been switching layouts with Shift+Shift and would be glad to continue with it as is. Well, at least something works for now.) However, I just upgraded another laptop which runs Unity. And there even the Super+Space combo doesn't work. Only the dash gets opened, which means there is no way to change the layout. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1218322 Title: Can't set keyboard layout change to alt+shift, ctrl+shift, etc. Status in Indicator keyboard: Invalid Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in “indicator-keyboard” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Can't set keyboard layout change to ctrl+shift, Caps Lock, alt+shift etc. "Shift", "CapsLock" keys are just ignored in settings.
