Switching languages shortcut - how to set a shortcut to Shift + Alt?

Question

I saw in other posts that since Ubuntu switched to GNOME it's not possible to set language switching shortcut to two keys, such as Shift+Alt. I noticed it expects minimum 3 keys.

I saw the solution was to use GNOME-Tweaks but I don't want to use third party packages, is there any other option right now? Using Ubuntu 21.10 (And soon 22.04)

Or, GNOME-Tweaks is not a third party software?

Ubuntu returned to using GNOME by default back in 2017-October release, so it's not really recent. GNOME Tweaks is a GNOME application so it's not a 3rd party application. — guiverc, Apr 09 '22 at 10:28
Make life easy and install Gnome Tweaks to do that. You can always remove it again. — vanadium, Apr 09 '22 at 12:28
thank you guys. installed (From Ubuntu Software, not apt, but I think it's the same) — Ligonsker, Apr 09 '22 at 14:11
Does this answer your question? Ubuntu 17.10 and later: can't change the input switching shortcut to alt+shift — Daniel T, Feb 27 '24 at 05:25

Run gnome-tweaks
Go to Keyboard & Mouse → Additional Layout Options
Expand Switching to another layout
Select Alt+Shift
if you need right alt to switch language then go to key to choose the 3rd level and select Right Alt never chooses 3rd level
