** Description changed: A PPA which should provide some relief for this issue is available at https://launchpad.net/~attente/+archive/1218322. There still remain issues regarding keyboard shortcuts though. To install: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:attente/1218322 sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade === 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. ---------------------- Separate bug reports for individual layout switching hotkey combinations: > Super+Space and Shift+Super+Space, found in: * Unity greeter (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-greeter/+bug/1245137); * Unity session (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1245136); * lock screen - gnome-screensaver (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-screensaver/+bug/1245138); * ubiquity installer (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1242572). > Alt+Shift * lock screen - gnome-screensaver (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-screensaver/+bug/1245256) * Unity greeter (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-greeter/+bug/1245258) * Can't set keyboard layout change to Alt+Shift (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1245926) > Ctrl+Shift * lock screen - gnome-screensaver (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-screensaver/+bug/1245270) * Unity greeter (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-greeter/+bug/1245268) - * Can't set keyboard layout change to Ctrl+Shift (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1245991) + * Can't set keyboard layout change to Ctrl+Shift (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1245991) + * If keyboard layout switching hotkey is set to Ctrl+Shift, Ctrl+Shift+C/V are not working in gnome-terminal (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1246656) > Shift+Shift * Can't set keyboard layout change to Shift+Shift (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1245272) * lock screen - gnome-screensaver (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-screensaver/+bug/1245278) * Unity greeter (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-greeter/+bug/1245280) Bugs which belong to keyboard layout switching: * Hotkeys not functional in non-latin keyboard layout in 13.10 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/1226962) * Keyboard Layout Options window is missed in gnome-control-center keyboard (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1245064) * Unable to set keyboard LED to show alternative layout in gnome-control-center keyboard in Saucy (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1245188) * Unable to set Miscellaneous compatibility options in gnome-control-center keyboard in Saucy (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1245199) * Keyboard shortcut for changing keyboard layout does not work on lock screen (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-screensaver/+bug/1244548) * [FFe] indicator-keyboard not working under greeter (https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity-greeter/+bug/1228207) * Lost ability to remap Caps Lock to Ctrl (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-keyboard/+bug/1215826/) * gnome-control-center keyboard no longer has way to modify caps lock key behavior (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1224575) * Pressing Caps Lock toggles LED even when mapped to another key (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/1221403) ---------------------- 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.
