IIRC, GNOME/KDE keyboard setup does exactly just what you described for xorg.conf, except it doesn't overwrite the xorg.conf file but instead defines it at runtime (using xmodmap or something I think). The main advantage of course is that if your computer is used by more then one person each can have their own group settings. Regardless, alt_shift_toggle will indeed change group when using either shift (and I think that either alt too - depends on your setting of mod1), which is not what Dan was asking about. According to this http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_X11_Keyboard there is no setting for just left alt + left shift, though there is an option for only left shift and it doesn't look like there are serious technical issues preventing the support for left_alt_left_shift_toggle, so a bug report here https://bugs.freedesktop.org/ would probably help. On a side note - due to the issues Dan is complaining about (ALT+SHIFT +something used as default key bindings for a lot of applications, sometime without the ability to change them), I once tried using the shift + caps lock toggle option but I couldn't get over the habit of pressing alt-shift - muscle memory dies hard ;-) -- Oded ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
