 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

 On which desktop environment does it work like that?

 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.
