Problem: When setting the switching of layouts on ctrl + shift, hot keys like ctrl + shift + refuse to work.
It turns out quite recently (literally a month ago) Ilya Muravyov wrote a patch correcting this misunderstanding. The bottom line is that switching the language after the patch is triggered not by pressing, but by releasing the ctrl + shift buttons.
A topic about a four-year-old bug on the
launchpad and at
Fridestop.org .
Patch itself.
Small instructions for bubuntovodov:
create a folder under the source code and future .debs go into it:
$ mkdir xorg-server
cd xorg-server
we get the source code into it
apt-get source xorg-server
')
install the packages needed to build
sudo apt-get build-dep xorg-server
swing patch
wget
bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=33142install the patch
patch <attachment.cgi \? id \ = 33142
File to patch: xorg-server-1.6.4 / xkb / xkbActions.c
collect (you can have another folder, did in ubuntu 9.10)
cd xorg-server-1.6.4 /
debuild -us -uc
cd ...
dpkg -i * .deb

MD5: 90FACB79834FECBF1716B42CF0D4D47AOnly bet if you trust me personally, I do not give guarantees.
PS pulled it all out of the
topic about ubuntu, I think many people who are used to switching by ctrl + shift will be interested.
