GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 735813
Can't configure layout switch to Caps / Shift+Caps
Last modified: 2018-01-24 15:11:38 UTC
Fedora 20/Gnome 3.10, fresh install I couldn't configure layout to be switched as: Caps Lock (first layout) Shift+Caps Lock (last layout). My settings: http://screencloud.net/v/qxwJ - Region & Language http://screencloud.net/v/ag6i - Input Sources Options Regarding the latter screenshot - I don't understand where the third line comes from and have no idea where I can't configure it. Anyway, despite it is there - it doesn't work, i.e. it doesn't switch anything - only Caps lock indicator lights on when caps is pressed.
I installed gnome-tweak-tool and this is the screenshot of it's Typing section: http://screencloud.net/v/ns8t As I said, the switch does not work. So this is bug.
It's in the Keyboard panel, under Shortcuts, "Typing", as the dialogue says: "You can change these shortcuts in the keyboard settings"
Thank you for quick reply. I'm afraid you are too quick in resolving this issue :) There is no setting for configuring switch which I described in title of the report, then in the first paragraph and lastly in it's last paragraph. I'm talking about modal switch which is listed on the second screenshot: http://screencloud.net/v/ag6i And this is how the dialog you mentioned looks like: ttp://screencloud.net/v/siIB - There are only "next" and "previous" shortcuts. Please, reopen this issue.

If you have set that option using gsettings and/or dconf-editor you can clear it using the same tool.

It is not axtually caps - forward and shift+caps - backward. It is caps - to the *first* layout and shift+caps - to the last. Its always been there in X and all Linux distros I worked with. Do you mean specifically this? Gnome doesn't provide modal layout switch anymore?
Btw, Xkb knows this as: grp:shift_caps_switch Caps Lock (to first layout), Shift+Caps Lock (to last layout)
Right, we're not going to add that to the control center, but it should work in gnome-shell and gnome-tweak-tool. Reassigning to gnome-tweak-tool to implement the switching (and thus the XKB configuration).
