SUMMARY

Workaround for KDE/GNOME with broken Alt+Shift for layout switching.

Use this daemon if you see one of these problems:

  1. Alt+Shift is an impossible combination for switching llayout.
  2. Shift is ignored in some cases.
    • Press Alt
    • Press Shift
    • Release ONLY Alt
    • Try to type text. Typed text is lowercase, Shift is ignored.
  3. Text is not typed in some cases.
    • Press Alt
    • Press Shift
    • Release ONLY Alt
    • Try to type text. Nothing happens, input blocked and window lost focus.

  1. Build and install:
    sudo apt install g++ gcc cmake libxi-dev libx11-dev fakeroot
    git clone https://github.com/Azq2/alt-shift-kbd-layout-switcher
    cd alt-shift-kbd-layout-switcher/kde/
    fakeroot debian/rules binary
    dpkg -i ../kde-alt-shift-kbd-layout-switcher_1.0_amd64.deb
