DetailsHi there,
There is a long standing bug in cinnamon-settings-daemon (2.0.8-4) that seems to have been fixed in Mint but still exists in Arch. The functionality for setting the key shortcut to switch keyboard layouts is un-intuitive and doesn't support most of the common shortcuts that people are used to, such as Ctrl+Shift or CapsLock. A commenter in the Cinnamon bug tracker about this issue (https://github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon/issues/2463#issuecomment-38422533) recommended that I report this to the Arch devs, because it seems to be related to a distro-specific patch that has already been fixed on Mint. DISCLAIMER: I use Manjaro, not Arch. However, I'm 99% sure that package was pulled directly from Arch and this bug undoubtedly affects Arch users too. Thanks a lot for looking into this! |

I'm not sure if I should file another bug for cinnamon-control-center too?
$ gsettings set org.cinnamon.settings-daemon.periphals.keyboard input-sources-switcher 'keybinding'
I'll check if we could remove our custom keyboard patch. You don't need to open another task.
