Hi, I've updated from proposed: gnome-control-center 1:3.6.3-0ubuntu45 and gnome-settings-daemon 3.8.5-0ubuntu10. Then logged out and in.
1. Leftovers from the old xkb setup still interfere with the new system in ways I described in comment 46, making it an unusable chaos. Manually removing the old shortcut key from gnome-tweak-tool leads to a quite usable new setup. Apparently this is a problem for many others (the shortcut key given to Text Entry containing NextGroup). If the old method of changing layout conflicts with the new method in such ways then the upgrade procedure needs to clean up the old setting. 2. If I choose Ctrl+Space as shortcut, the release order still matters when I try to use it, though it shouldn't. The "rolling" way of pressing the keys, which is way more natural for me (press Ctrl, press Space, release Ctrl, release Space) doesn't work. 3. If I choose Alt+Shift, all four press/release orders are accepted now and change the layout. Still, the indicator updates when I release the first modifier. The indicator should be updated as soon as I've pressed both modifiers. After all, all other keys in the system take action when I press them, not when I release. 4. The Text Entry window accepts single modifiers (like "Shift L") to change layout, but they don't actually change it. Text Entry should refuse such shortkeys. 5. When specifying Ctrl+Space as shortcut, the release order does matter again. The "rolling" order results in "Ctrl L" being the new shortcut, which is unusable. The release order shouldn't matter here either. 6. When specifying Alt+Shift as a shortcut, I "randomly" get either "Alt+Shift L" or "Shift+Alt L". Of course the behavior is not the same in the two cases, e.g. the right shift works in one but not in the other. The one which is chosen depends (just like in bullet point 5) on the order in which I release the two keys. If a difference needs to be made between these two cases, it's the press order that should matter. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1218322 Title: Can't set keyboard layout change to alt+shift, ctrl+shift, etc. Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts: Invalid Status in Indicator keyboard: Invalid Status in Ubuntu GNOME: Confirmed Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “indicator-keyboard” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “gnome-control-center” source package in Saucy: Fix Committed Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” source package in Saucy: Fix Committed Status in “indicator-keyboard” source package in Saucy: Invalid 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.
