Under Settings -> Region and Language the user can setup several
"input sources" (keyboard layouts). The shortcut for switching
between them is currently not configurable on the GUI.

Is there a specific reason for having the shortcut fixed instead of
configurable (in the GUI)?

If you click the cogwheel there is a reference to the keyboard settings, i.e. 
"Keyboard Shortcuts". That's the GUI where those shortcuts can be changed.

(Tweaks offers further options for setting a shortcut for switching input 
languages.)


Thank you for the information!

 The hint says "These keyboard shortcuts can be changed in the keyboard settings". However, if I search for 
"keyboard settings" (all applications -> type), Ubuntu does not find anything. I'd say that's a "dead 
hint"? It should actually say "can be changed under Keyboard shortcuts".
If a non-technical then opens "Keyboard shortcuts" they get a huge list of 
which 99% is not interesting. If they are unlucky, they don't see the magnifier in the 
top right and start reading every entry.

 I need to change my question:
- Is there a specific reason, why the shortcut cannot be changed in-place (= at 
the location, where the setting is shown)?
and / or
- Is there a specific reason, why the help text does not appear as a link and jumps right 
into the "keyboard shortcuts" with the two options preselected?
