@Adam: Sad to hear that the proposed fix caused yet another regression, and sorry for the inconvenience it caused.

Basically it's the other way around; console-setup adds XKBOPTIONS to /etc/default/keyboard, sometimes behind the scenes, but GNOME does not include GUIs for controlling XKBOPTIONS system wide (only per user). At the same time, when you use the GNOME GUI to change the keyboard configuration system wide, it brutally drops any XKBOPTIONS in /etc/default/keyboard. I'm going to bring it up with the desktop team, and try to figure out a better approach to handle this dissonance. Then let's make sure in advance that whatever we comes up with does not interfere with the installer. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to console-setup in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1762952 Title: Alternative shortcut for layout switching Alt+Shift unexpectedly set by default Status in console-setup package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in console-setup source package in Bionic: Confirmed Status in gnome-control-center source package in Bionic: Invalid Bug description: [Impact] The keyboard-configuration package provides a tool for configuring the keyboard via /etc/default/keyboard. However, there are desktop GUIs which provide such tools as well, and in the case of gnome-control- center it has another idea of what /etc/default/keyboard should contain. In short: The different tools don't play well together. The proposed upload does not claim to fix all issues with this incompatibility. But one of the annoyances is that a pure upgrade of the keyboard-configuration package may result in a changed keyboard configuration without the user asking for it. The proposed upload does address that particular issue on desktop systems. [Test Case] 1. On an Ubuntu 18.04 system, make sure that the contents of /etc/default/keyboard is 'the g-c-c style', for instance: XKBLAYOUT=se,us BACKSPACE=guess XKBVARIANT=, 2. Reboot. 3. Upgrade to the version of the keyboard-configuration package in bionic-proposed. => Find that /etc/default/keyboard was not changed through the upgrade. 4. Run the command sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration => Find that you are now offered to change your keyboard configuration. [Regression Potential] As a result of this upload, and unlike before, no keyboard configuration will happen behind the scenes on a desktop system due to an upgrade of the keyboard-configuration package. This is the desired change, and I can't think of a case when a user would want the configuration to be changed without having asked for it. [Original description] Version: Ubuntu 18.04 Final Beta with default Gnome Shell included in 18.04 Steps to reproduce: 1. Define two keyboard input methods in Settings -> Region & Language -> Input Sources 2. Open several applications 3. Observe that application windows can be iterated with Alt + Tab 4. Once application window iteration was begun with Alt + Tab, try to iterate backwards with Alt + Shift + Tab. 5. Try to change keyboard input method switching hotkeys in Settings -> Region & Language -> Input Sources -> Options. 6. Observe that Keyboard shortcut for "Alternative switch to next source" is set to "Alt + Shift" and that keyboard shortcuts can only be changed in Settings -> Devices -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts. 7. Observe that the shortcut for "Alternative switch to next source" is not available for configuration in Settings -> Devices -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts. Actual state: * Performing step 4 does not select the previous app in application switcher but instead changes keyboard input method. Expected state: * The shortcut for "Alternative switch to next source" can be changed and / or deactivated in Settings -> Devices -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts. Notes: * The above was working fine in Ubuntu 17.10. I assume "Alternative switch to next source" did not exist in that version of Gnome Shell.
