I have a switch mapped to super + space and cannot remap it. In fact this functionality was removed somewhere around GNOME 3.4 or so. Now, you have to use some alpha/numeric key in addition to functional ones (ctrl/alt/shift/super). So setting to ctrl+shift should be forbidden. > - Try to use ctrl+shift+v, ctrl+shift+c in Terminal -- it doesn't work > (actually Terminal window loses focus when ctrl+shift is pressed, and layout > is switched) > Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings- daemon/+bug/1245473/comments/21 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On 2014-04-28T09:07:09+00:00 Nrbrtx wrote: Thank you for reply, Vladimir! If we talk about Fedora 20, it uses gnome-control-center 3.10.3 (control-center-3.10.3-1.fc20.i686). If we talk about RedHat 7, it uses gnome-control-center 3.8.6 (control-center-3.8.6-15.el7.x86_64). On both systems one can set almost any shortcut for switching layouts from "gnome-control-center keyboard" -> Shortcuts -> Typing -> Modifiers-only switch to next source (here are <Right Shift>, <Left Ctrl>, <Alt+Caps Lock>, <Right Ctrl+Right Shift>, <Ctrl+Shift>, <Caps Lock>, <Right Ctrl>, <Left Shift>, <Shift+Caps Lock>, <Left Ctrl+Left Shift>, <Alt+Shift>, <Left Alt>, <Scroll Lock>, <Alt+Space>, <Left Win>, <Alt+Ctrl>, <Right Win>, <Right Alt>, <Menu>, <Left Alt+Left Shift>). So there is no problem to set for example <Ctrl+Shift> as layout switcher.

I think those containing ctrl+shift or alt+shift should be removed or should use win + something instead. Rui, you were poking into that.

XKB layout group switching has always behaved like this. In particular RHEL 5 and 6 also behave like this. See https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=865 . And I said "bug" on purpose because if you "fix" it then you'll have another group of users, who are used to the current behavior, reporting that layout switch is delayed[1] and thus they can't quickly switch layouts while typing fast. In other words, I don't intend to work on this. [1] the delay being that the switch would only happen when Shift is released instead of pressed.

Could you please find another operating system (enterprise-grade or mature) in which user can not combine keyboard layout switching hotkeys with some other key (part of global shortcut)? If you need an example I have it - restoring recently closed tab in Firefox has cross-platform shortcut <Ctrl+Shift+T>, which do not interfere with <Ctrl+Shift> layout-switcher on any platform. It works as expected on MS Windows, it works on Ubuntu 12.04 (with GNOME 3.4.2!), 14.04 (only in Unity session), but it do not work in other modern distros. I think it works as expected in Mac OS X too. As you can see on launchpad page - 30 users finds this functionality essential. Why you think that GNOME/Xorg/whatever is unique to ignore this functionality? :) Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings- daemon/+bug/1245473/comments/25 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On 2014-05-06T05:47:56+00:00 RHEL wrote: This request was not resolved in time for the current release.

Maybe I misunderstood something. Tomas, I think you're right. I switched this to modified too soon, I still see the keyboard layout switching in Firefox like you mentioned, and in gnome-terminal. Not entirely sure what a good fix would be, but having ctrl+shift as a keyboard layout modifier doesn't make sense when so many applications use ctrl+shift commands as well. Perhaps it shouldn't be an option? Moving this back to Assigned for now.
