How to change the “Alternative switch to next source”












27















I have been using Ubuntu 17.10 for a while and is working great. But today after the update, I have a new shortcut, Alt+Shift, as an alternative Switch to the next input source. Alt+Shift is a common modifier in Intellij so a lot of shortcuts doesn't work any more.



I tried to change the shortcut but it is not listed in the shortcuts window.



Is there a file where I can change it (the alternative)?



Here is the screenshot of the option

Finally I found the option. I had to install Tweaks and go to



Keyboard and mouse > Additional layout options > switching to another layout



The strange thing is that there is that the default shortcut super+space was not selected in that window, only the alternative shortcut.

    Tweaks, mentioned by Alejandro Vera is the "Gnome Tweaks" application (could be found in "Software" or just from Activities search input)

In my answer I assume that you use Gnome 3.x.



You can use Tweaks, but you can also write the value directly, for example, changing from Alt+Shift to Ctrl+Shift can be done by the following command in terminal:



dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/input-sources/xkb-options ['grp:ctrl_shift_toggle','grp_led:scroll']

    I wanted to disable the option of alternative switch to the next source; This worked for me:



    In terminal, type:



    xkbopts="/org/gnome/desktop/input-sources/xkb-options
    dconf read $xkbopts
    dconf write $xkbopts "['']"

      Install gnome-tweak-tool if you don't have it already. Open it, go to the Typing section and it's probably the 'Switching to another layout options' that you're looking for.
