Customize switch language shortcut

I have just installed Ubuntu 16.04 in a new HP pavilion laptop.
As I did before, I entered to Keyboard -> Shortcuts -> Typing and tried to set Switch to next source to function with Alt+Shift L.
From some reason, I get instead Alt+Mod2+Shift L, and the Alt+Shift L combitation does not do anything.
Apart, I also want the operation to be cyclic, i.e.:
Lang1 -> Lang2 -> Lang3 -> Lang1
Any idea what is wrong?

I get the same in the System Settings GUI on my 16.04, but OTOH switching sources withAlt+Shift Lstill works fine for me. Does the default shortcutSuper+Spacework for you?

Yes,Super+Spaceworks fine...

It is strange. The combinationSuper+Spaceappears like this in the keyboard shortcuts panel. However, I triedSuper+Shift Land gotMod2+Mod4+Super+Hyper+Shift L. And it doesn't work...

You can try to find setting ingnome-tweak-toolin Typing tab. Or if it does not work - switch to normal comprehensive desktop such as MATE DE.

There is another way to set it. Please try this command:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.input-sources xkb-options "['grp:alt_shift_toggle']"

It didn't help. Before I did it, i checkedgsettings get org.gnome.desktop.input-sources xkb-optionsand got@as. After executinggsettings set org.gnome.desktop.input-sources xkb-options "['grp:alt_shift_toggle']"I ran againgsettings get...and got['grp:alt_shift_toggle']. In theSettings -> Keyboard -> ShortcutsI still see the value I had before in bothSwitch to next/previous sourcefields, and testing the combination nothing happens.

@guyaloni: I see. This is an alternative way which works for me on 17.10, and yes, it does not change the value in Settings, but it's supposed to override it. Sorry to hear that this didn't work for you either.
