For those who experience "NextGroup" problems, here is the procedure that make Alt-Shift works for me.
The problem seems to be that "Text Entry" double-detect the Alt-Shift as "NextGroup" key, which is the layout switch shortcut from xkb. The idea is to completely disable xkboptions for layout switching. 1. Install latest PPA packages of gnome-control-center and gnome-settings from above. 2. sudo vi /etc/default/keyboard, comment out everything unless you want to redo everything again. 3. dconf-editor, edit org->gnome->desktop->input-sources, empty "xkb-options". In my turn I have also empty "sources". YMMV. 4. Under System-Settings->Text-Entry, readd layout that might disappeared from the step above, the reassign shortcut as you desired. It should not detect Alt-Shift as "NextGroup" anymore. 5. For those who still doesn't works, try empty value in org->gnome->libgnomekbd->keyboard. I emptied all values including model, layout, and options. Hope this helps. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1218322 Title: Can't set keyboard layout change to alt+shift, ctrl+shift, etc. To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+bug/1218322/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
