After migration from Ubuntu 16.04 to 17.10 I experience a problem with the keyboard switching. When I press shift+alt it takes about 500ms for the switching between the layouts. With Ubuntu 16.04 it didn't take so much time.

After upgrade I updated my /etc/default/keyboard:

  1 # KEYBOARD CONFIGURATION FILE

  3 # Consult the keyboard(5) manual page.
  4 
  5 XKBMODEL="pc105"
  6 XKBLAYOUT="pl,de,ru"
  7 XKBVARIANT=""
  8 XKBOPTIONS="grp:alt_shift_toggle"
  9 
  10 BACKSPACE="guess"

And gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.input-sources xkb-options['grp:alt_shift_toggle'] says: 

['grp:alt_shift_toggle']

  • You may use default combinations (super+space, shift+super+space). They should work faster. – pomsky Nov 01 '17 at 09:17

    yeah, but they really suck. There is some strange overlay with all possible layouts, I don't need it. I just want my old convenience. – Roman T Nov 01 '17 at 09:37
  • I understand. For some reason they're not encouraging that combo. Apparently it cannot be even set easily: https://askubuntu.com/questions/967364/ubuntu-17-10-cant-change-the-input-switching-shortcut-to-altshift – pomsky Nov 01 '17 at 09:41
  • Also the overlay appears if you press and hold a bit longer. A quick press and release should change the layout without showing the overlay. – pomsky Nov 01 '17 at 09:44
