Description David Jaša 2013-12-13 09:09:52 UTC
Description of problem:
There are quite ubiquitous keyboard switching shortcuts around: alt+shift, ctrl+shift (default Windows), shift+shift (default X for a long time), shift+capslock (default in recent versions of Gnome).

Gnome in F20 ships with Yet Another Shortcut - super+space - and none of the "legacy" shortcuts which users have muscle memory for can be set in "gnome-control-center keyboard"

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
control-center-3.10.2-2.fc20.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. launch: gnome-control-center keyboard
2. go to Shortcuts --> Typing
3. try to set the "switch to next input source" to some of alt+shift, ctrl+shift, shift+shift, shift+capslock

Actual results:
none of these shortcuts are recognized by control center

Expected results:
all of the shortcuts above can be set

On this page, check the options in "Modifiers-only switch to next source". Does that work for you?

Comment 2 David Jaša 2013-12-16 16:18:29 UTC
Ah, that indeed works. Call me blind but I didn't notice this option at all (and I really spent some time on this before reporting :/ ). Maybe different wording with emphasis on source switching instead of modifiers such as "Switch to next source (modifiers only):" could help to people like me?

Anyway, feel free to close...
