Input sources modifier `grp:switch` not working anymore #1391

Open floringogianu opened 6 years ago

floringogianu commented 6 years ago

Operating System: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS x86_64 Budgie version: Budgie 10-4

The issue encountered:

In gnome-shell and ubuntu-unity and even in vanilla Ubuntu with the Budgie Desktop installed, I was able to configure the right Alt key, while pressed, for changing the input source. This was an alternative to the classic way of toggling through input sources with Super-Space.

I was usually doing this with: sudo setxkbmap -layout gb,ro -variant basic,std -option grp:switch, swtich standing for the right Alt key. Unfourtunately in Ubuntu Budgie 18.04 this is not working anymore.

Any suggestions what could be conflicting with these settings? I find it strange it is not working in Ubuntu Budgie 18.04 as it was in Ubuntu 17.10 with the Budgie-Desktop installed.

Additional details:

➜  ~ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.input-sources sources             
[('xkb', 'gb'), ('xkb', 'ro+std')
➜  ~ setxkbmap -query
rules:      evdev
layout:     gb,ro
variant:    basic,std
options:    grp:switch,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp

I also tried explicitly configuring the modifier key (something that works in gnome-shell and I used before) as described here.

Have same problem with same OS version. I used to bind input changing to CapsLock but can't do it in fresh system installation. Looks like xkb-options won't have effect at all, because Crtl+Alt+Backspace doesn't work neither.
