I am multi-lingual, and I use several keyboard language layouts. I am used to using Ctrl+Shift in Windows to changue input language, so I want the same for my Linux. Default Alt+Spacebar is very inconvenient for me. Ubuntu's vanilla settings app doesn't allow Ctrl+Shift combination, so I had to use the Gnome Tweaks application, which allows more flexible options--including Ctrl+Shift for shortcuts.
However, I noticed that now Firefox's shortcut to undo closing a tab (Ctrl+Shift+T), which I use extremely frequently, stopped working. It seems that as soon as Gnome/Ubuntu registers a Ctrl+Shift key combo, it stops caring if any other keys are pressed as well. It just switches keyboard layout with Ctrl+Shift+T the same way it does with just Ctrl+Shift.
This is a major quality of life issue for me. How do I fix this?
Thank you.
I just installed KDE on the same Ubuntu/Gnome installation using tasksel as described here: https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-kde-plasma-desktop-on-ubuntu-20-04-focal-fossa-linux
And it's having the same problem. I wonder if it's because KDE is installed in parallel to Gnome.
I have wasted so much time to make basic things work (even mic doesn't work on my "Ubuntu certified" laptop. Lots of bugs. I don't see Linux ever hitting any double digits in market share with this amount of ancient bugs and low quality of life.
