Dear X.org community! I have already sent this message to xorg-devel mailing list, but is seems to be the wrong list, so sending it here.
I'm regular Linux user from Russia. Since I'm Russian I use two keyboard layouts (Russian Cyrillic and ANSI US). As an ex-windows user I'm used to switch them with Ctrl+shift kb combination (alt+shift is popular as well). This shortcut is popular among users, but there is a problem with X.org with it. If you use this shortcut as a layout switcher other shortcuts with ctrl and shift won't work. There is a bug (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=865) that exists for 14 years! And the patch exists for about 10 years. This patch is applied to Ubuntu distro since 2010. But unfortunately no one willing to merge it. One of the arguments for rejecting this changes is standard breakage. I would like to see it merged and as a compromise I suggest an option in xorg.conf or ifdef. Can anyone help to get it merged and close this issue. I will be glad to provide all necessary code changes since I'm C++ programmer. Regards, Yan
