Ubuntu 21.10 - how to configure key combination for keyboard layout switch

ae flag

I use Ubuntu with two input languages, switching between them with Super+Space.

I have upgraded Ubuntu to 21.10, and during the installation it has asked to select another key combination, not offering Super+Space, so I chose next commonly used combination left Shift+Ctrl.

Now the problem - both combinations are active, and all existing key combinations that involve Ctrl+Shift stopped working. How do I reset it all back?

I use Ubuntu on XOrg (not Wayland). In the system settings it still shows Super+Space as the key combo. How do I bring up that window from the upgrade process to remove the Ctrl+Shift assignment? Was it Wayland keyboard settings?

Does this answer your question? [18.04 ctrl+shift to change language](https://askubuntu.com/questions/1029588/18-04-ctrlshift-to-change-language) . Drop GNOMEs Hell and install other normal desktop with patched Xorg from my PPA.

gnome-tweaks helped, I was able to reconfigure layout switch keybindings.

Just keep in mind that there are two places where this combination is configured in Ubuntu:

  • One is the standard System Settings Dialog - Keyboard - Input switching
  • Another is through gnome-tweaks as described in the accepted answer to 18.04 ctrl+shift to change language. Gnome-tweaks - Keyboard & Mouse - Additional Layout Options - Switching to another layout.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
