After the latest upgrade on Debian stretch, hitting alt+shift
on my keyboard make it change layout, which breaks all my alt+shift+<anything>
xbindkeys
shortcuts.
I have disabled all shortcuts in Settings -> Keyboard -> Input. Still the same.
In Settings -> Languages, it is said that this alt+shift
behaviour can be tweaked in.. Settings -> Keyboard. But alt+shift
seems to be set nowhere there. Is it hardcoded? Is there a way xbindkeys
can work around this?

Okay, got it: this line in my
/etc/default/keyboard
.. should not contain
grp:alt_shift_toggle
, which is the relevant xkb option according to this post.In addition, Gnome overrides xkb options according to this other post. As a consequence, this output:
.. should not read
grp:alt_shift_toggle
on my machine either. So after I ran:I got my good'ol behaviour back ;)
I have filed this as a bug to Gnome.
