I am multi-lingual, and I use several keyboard language layouts. I am used to using Ctrl+Shift in Windows to changue input language, so I want the same for my Linux. Default Alt+Spacebar is very inconvenient for me. Ubuntu's vanilla settings app doesn't allow Ctrl+Shift combination, so I had to use the Gnome Tweaks application, which allows more flexible options--including Ctrl+Shift for shortcuts.

However, I noticed that now Firefox's shortcut to undo closing a tab (Ctrl+Shift+T), which I use extremely frequently, stopped working. It seems that as soon as Gnome/Ubuntu registers a Ctrl+Shift key combo, it stops caring if any other keys are pressed as well. It just switches keyboard layout with Ctrl+Shift+T the same way it does with just Ctrl+Shift.

This is a major quality of life issue for me. How do I fix this?

Thank you.

  • Amazing. Thank you, very informative. I just installed KDE on the same Ubuntu/Gnome installation using tasksel as described here: https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-kde-plasma-desktop-on-ubuntu-20-04-focal-fossa-linux And it's having the same problem. I wonder if it's because KDE is installed in parallel to Gnome. I have wasted so much time to make basic things work (even mic doesn't work on my "Ubuntu certified" laptop. Lots of bugs. I don't see Linux ever hitting any double digits in market share with this amount of ancient bugs and low quality of life. – BondS Aug 01 '20 at 22:40
  • As you may know from [my answer](https://askubuntu.com/a/1009356/66509) - you have to remove (or switch from) GNOME, add my PPA and install other DE like MATE or Xfce. – N0rbert Aug 02 '20 at 07:46
