Re: [Bug 1218322] Re: Can't set keyboard layout change to alt+shift, ctrl+shift, etc.
I think what is broken is just the program to configure these shortcuts. Why? Because using workarounds I can configure my X to switch among layouts when I press ALT+SHIFT. In my setup at least there is no inherent limitation about the ability of using these special keys for switching. To give an example of such a workaround in my Gnome Classic Flashback (Metacity): * If I right-click on the indicator icon, select Text Entry Settings... then I will get a dialog window where I can define just shortcuts for Switch to next source using... and Switch to previous source using... and in this dialog box I CAN configure ALT+SHIFT. When I close the dialog afterwards it works just fine, consistently, I can switch. * In the system settings - keyboard - shortcuts dialog I can even see ALT+SHIFT there, however if I delete this shortcut there is no way to get it back in that dialog because it will not detect the key. I can always set the shortcut using Text Entry Settings. Perhaps the problem is so trivial just for the case of Gnome Classic Flashback (Metacity). But in Gnome Classic Flashback (Metacity) in my opinion the only problem is the GUI in the system settings, and the problem is that it does not detect the keypress. The dialog even displays this shortcut correctly if it has been set using another tool, so the shortcut storage and representation is working, just key press detection for setting the shortcut is broken.

@ Aliaksandr Please stop writing such phrases. The bug is almost fixed in Ubuntu 14.04 in all sessions. If you have concrete problems - write here about them, not holy war emotions. Also you can quietly test your exotic Right Control layout switcher in other distros. You can help Ubuntu community to fix this bug too.

Re: [Bug 1218322] Re: Can't set keyboard layout change to alt+shift, ctrl+shift, etc.
I am completely locked out of typing anything on my laptop Dell D620 4gb ram 1.66ghz dual core intel processor 500 gb hitachi 7200 rpm hd. I am at a point to where I think I need to pull my docs/music to another partition and reformat the GNOME partition. What is most frustrating about this is I just got my system set up perfect and of course this happens to be betta and then I get this. Any suggestions are very much appreciated.
