[opensuse-gnome] RFC: changing the default keybinding to switch keyboard layouts
- From: Vincent Untz <vuntz@xxxxxxxxxx>

Hi,
This is all about https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=373197
Quick summary: for some reason living in X and difficult to solve at the
moment, the current default keybinding to switch keyboard layout
(Alt_L+Alt_R) does not work and can not work.
Since it's not easily fixable, we can change the keybinding to something
that works (Shift_L+Shift_R, for example). At least, it will work. But
on the other hand, this will break user expectations for users who are
used to the current keybinding (and we'll likely switch back to
Alt_L+Alt_R in a future release, once it's working).
The less worst solution, IMHO, is to change the keybinding for now and,
if possible, hide the non-working keybindings, so people who care enough
to look at the options can only select something that works.
Thoughts?
Vincent
