Not sure what happens with KDE settings, it did not work to me some
years ago so I'm always using SaX2 to configure keyboard layout and
switching.
In SaX2 select keyboard and go to "Options" tab. You can select more
than one option (I'm using Alt-Shift for keyboards without "Win" keys
and both Left-Win and Right-Win when there are "Win" keys). I also use
Scroll LED to indicate the alternative layout.
