## Submitted by Vitaly Shishakov Assigned to **Xorg Project Team** **[Link to original bug (#865)](https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=865)** ## Description I used to use Ctrl-Shift combination to switch keyboard layouts (ru `<-->` us) but in this case i cant use any of the Ctrl-Shift-* hotkeys in any software i try. I noticed, that the keyboard layout becomes swithced as soon an both keys are DOWN -- pressing any other key is not treated as Ctrl-Shift-`<key>` combination. For example -- in Windows i also use Ctrl-Shift to switch layouts, but there, the layout becomes switched only when both SHIFT and CTRL keys are UP, and no other key was pressed while they were down -- in that case the hole combination is treates as Ctrl-Shift-`<key>` combination, and the layout is not changed. see also: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59303 I use the following lines in XF86Config: Section "InputDevice" Driver "Keyboard" Identifier "Keyboard[0]" Option "Protocol" "Standard" Option "XkbLayout" "us,ru" Option "XkbModel" "pc104" Option "XkbOptions" "grp:ctrl_shift_toggle" Option "XkbRules" "xfree86" Option "XkbVariant" ",winkeys" EndSection Version: git ### Blocking * [Bug 44202](https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44202)
