  • Ubuntu 17.10 and later: can't change the input switching shortcut to alt+shift

    3 answers



  • 18.04 ctrl+shift to change language

    1 answer



I found Keyboards Shortcuts but it only accepts combos with 3 buttons (Ctrl+Shift+?), even for those where originally only 2 buttons are used (like original combo Super + Space).



So I can't change Super+Space to Ctrl+Shift or Alt+Shift.



Can anyone explain why this is?

          Install Tweaks (package: gnome-tweaks). Then use Tweaks to set an alternative layout switcher.

            The full sequence of actions would be:
            Ctrl+Alt+T



             sudo apt-get install gnome-tweak-tool
            gnome-tweaks


            then in the window
            Keyboard&Mouse -> Additional Layout Options -> Switching to another layout

              1- Open Settings>Devices>Keyboard

              2- you will find the shortcut set to super + space, change it to Ctrl+Shift or whatever you want. Or you can add the shortcut that you want.

              • Strangely, it accepts Ctrl+Print, but doesn't accept Ctrl+Shift. And I can't make Printscreen of that dialog, as it accepts the combo Print or Ctrl+Print, instead of actually doing a Printscreen.

                              • Strangely, it accepts Ctrl+Print, but doesn't accept Ctrl+Shift. And I can't make Printscreen of that dialog, as it accepts the combo Print or Ctrl+Print, instead of actually doing a Printscreen.

                              It only accepts 3 pressed keys. That is the problem.
