On Ubuntu Gnome 14.04, the bug is still there. I have no PPA related to gnome or this bug installed.
The "modifier only" option for switching, set to whichever option, will change the keyboard indicated in the panel indicator, but will not really change the keyboard layout. Setting the "switch to next source" to a normal combination (for example, ctrl+0) works. I am starting to suspect that there is no one around who really understand what's happening here --- it is so complex. I confirm that none of the modifier-only combination wrong, trying with the (should be equivalent): - gnome (or unity) control center, keyboard -> shortcut -> typing - gnome-tweak-tool -> typing - gsetting or gconf-editor on org.gnome.desktop.input-sources -> xkb-option So no joy here. Ended up setting the switch to next source to alt+shift+space which seems to work. :-( -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1218322 Title: Can't set keyboard layout change to alt+shift, ctrl+shift, etc. To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/1218322/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
