@Norbert (nrbrtx) Thanks for the hint, I tried this way, and the results are the next. However the switch to next source shows up at the Input Sources config panel, I still cannot use Alt-Shift to change the layout. It still only switches the keyboard indicator in the upper panel to hu, but I still type english characters... if I use the mouse to change the language on the upper corner to hu, I can use hungarian characters... If I again use the keyboard shortcut to change, it does not work again.. So the problem is definitely around the keyboard shortcuts.
Any suggestions are highly welcome, because this is quite annoying for me :) Thanks and regards, Krisztian -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1218322 Title: Can't set keyboard layout change to alt+shift, ctrl+shift, etc. Status in Gnome Settings Daemon: Invalid Status in Ubuntu GNOME: Confirmed Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” source package in Saucy: Triaged Status in “gnome-control-center” package in ALT Linux: Unknown Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Gentoo Linux: Unknown Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Mandriva: Invalid Bug description: *** The old PPA, ppa:attente/1218322 is superceded by the following one.

For users this bug affects, this represents a working solution for a critical bug. ---------------------- Test results for different keyboard layout change hotkeys may be viewed and added in the Google Docs table, created by Norbert (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ao5e713Ig9g_dEJrX2NRYlpLWWVzSWxsVXU4ck9HYVE&usp=sharing). ---------------------- Separate bug reports for individual layout switching hotkey combinations: Super+Space and Shift+Super+Space: * Unity greeter (bug 1245137); * Unity session (bug 1245136); * lock screen - gnome-screensaver (bug 1245138, bug 1245256); * ubiquity installer (bug 1242572).

Also the default shortcut was set to "Super+Space" that is inconveniently, because Dash is opening when you swich your keyboard layout.
