I might be experiencing this issue too, but I am unsure. I am posting this in case it helps.
After upgrading from Ubuntu 18.04 to 20.04, whenever I remove my external keyboard and plug it back in, the external keyboard's layout switches to US English instead of whatever it was set to (a custom layout in my case, but I confirmed it with other, built-in layouts too). The laptop's built-in keyboard layout remains correct. I applied @gunnarhj's fix, but the behavior did not change. (Again, I am not sure I if the problem I'm experiencing has the same root cause as the OP's problem.) However, I was able to work around the problem by switching to Wayland. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1899206 Title: Tweaktool Keyboard “Additional Layout Options” not persisting on USB keyboard unplug/reconnect Status in GNOME Shell: Unknown Status in Mutter: Unknown Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in mutter package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Bug description: I am running Ubuntu 20.04.1 with Gnome. I am seeing new behavior which seems to have been introduced within the past couple of weeks. I have a couple custom keyboard settings configured in Tweaktool "Additional Layout Options". These settings work great. I have a USB keyboard plugged into the machine. If I have the keyboard plugged in when I start my Gnome session, the customized keyboard layout options are correctly applied to the USB keyboard. If I unplug and reconnect the keyboard, the keyboard does will _NOT_ have the customized keyboard settings. If I restart my Gnome session (using Alt-F2 -> "r"), the customized settings are applied to the keyboard. I think this behavior is something new. Before, I was able to unplug/reconnect my keyboard and it would apply my customized keyboard settings on reconnect. Is there anything I can do to force the application of the custom keyboard tweaks on USB keyboard reconnect? Is anyone else able to reproduce this? I don't have any other machines with Ubuntu 20.04.1 to test with. Thanks!
