I just switched from ZORIN to UBUNTU 23.10 and decided to set the switching language shortcut. I use English (US) and Greek keyboard layouts. I do the following steps:

  1. Settings
  2. Keyboard
  3. View and customize shortcuts
  4. Typing
  5. Switch to next input source.

Then I see this screen and unfortunately I can only set a combination of three keys, not two (Alt-Shift)

enter image description here

Does anyone know how to set the Alt-Shift keys to change language? Thank you in advance!

You can do it from command-line (in the terminal) using dconf for the switch-input-source key like so:

dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/wm/keybindings/switch-input-source "['<Alt>Shift_L']"

... and for the switch-input-source-backward key like so:

dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/wm/keybindings/switch-input-source-backward "['<Shift>Alt_L']"

Notice that you can reset both keys to their default values anytime with:

dconf reset /org/gnome/desktop/wm/keybindings/switch-input-source

... and:

dconf reset /org/gnome/desktop/wm/keybindings/switch-input-source-backward

Yes. You can't do it from there. But, you can do it with gnome-tweaks. Please, install it if it is not already installed.

Run gnome-tweaks, go to Keyboard & Mouse → Additional Layout Options → Switching to another layout and select Alt+Shift.

  • Thank you very much! The previous answer worked but since I like experiments, I'll try this one too! – ManosK Dec 22 '23 at 22:52
