Gnome 3.22: disable alt+shift keyboard layout switching
up vote

After the latest upgrade on Debian stretch, hitting alt+shift on my keyboard make it change layout, which breaks all my alt+shift+<anything> xbindkeys shortcuts.
I have disabled all shortcuts in Settings -> Keyboard -> Input. Still the same.
In Settings -> Languages, it is said that this alt+shift behaviour can be tweaked in.. Settings -> Keyboard. But alt+shift seems to be set nowhere there. Is it hardcoded? Is there a way xbindkeys can work around this?

Okay, got it: this line in my /etc/default/keyboard
XKBOPTIONS="grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll"
.. should not contain grp:alt_shift_toggle, which is the relevant xkb option according to this post.
In addition, Gnome overrides xkb options according to this other post. As a consequence, this output:
$ dconf read /org/gnome/desktop/input-sources/xkb-options
['grp:alt_shift_toggle','grp_led:scroll']
.. should not read grp:alt_shift_toggle on my machine as well. So after I ran:
dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/input-sources/xkb-options "['grp_led:scroll']"
I got my good'ol behaviour back ;)
I have filed this as a bug to Gnome.

I was able to disable theAlt + Shiftshortcut for changing keyboard layout by disabling the shortcut inSettings > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Typings > Modifiers-only switch to next source. Yes, the name is quite vague but you can see that it's mapped toAlt + Shift.

@hb20007 I think this is the naive first try that surprisingly didn't work in my case back then. However, the navigation was a little different from the one you are describing. Which version of gnome are you talking about?

Also this is another option in graphical mode (gnome 3.22):
- Open the gnome 'tweak tool' or type
gnome-tweak-toolon a terminal - Go to the 'Typing' tab
- Click on 'Switching to another layout'
- Choose your favorite shortcut avoiding Ctrl+Shift and Alt+Shift
