grp:shift_caps_switch in Loki

[Roman Zabaluev]

is that possible to use shift_caps_switch method for switching layouts in Loki? It was available in Luna, but not now. There's no such option in settings, nor editing the value with dconf works.

I'm unable to confirm this issue. I see shift + caps in the layout settings on my installation of Loki

[Roman Zabaluev (haarolean)]

No, not shift+caps, Shift / Shift+Caps, there are different things — shift_caps_switch and shift_caps_toggle. With 'switch' method you use caps to first layout and shift+caps to second, not shift+caps for next.

This method is not available because Gnome components doesn't support it (you can see all available methods here https://github.com/GNOME/mutter/blob/master/src/core/keybindings.c, using "g_str_equal (iso_next_group_option" phrase in the search).

For this reason, I think it's upstream issue.

It was available in Luna, has anything changed in Gnome/else?

[Roman Zabaluev (haarolean)]

As well I see that option on line 405 there.

[Maxim Taranov (png2378)]

OP, line 405 includes "shift_caps_toggle" option (not "shift_caps_switch") for switching to next layout by Shift+Caps and this option is available from switchboard.

[Roman Zabaluev (haarolean)]

Yeah, my bad. Has anything changed since Luna? Isn't that possible now to use "switch"?

[Zisu Andrei (matzipan)]

It is. And it works. What is the issue?

[Roman Zabaluev (haarolean)]

"grp:shift_caps_switch CapsLock (to first layout), Shift+CapsLock (to last layout)"
This one was available in Luna but not in Loki. It's the issue. Is that possible to use it now, if yes, how can I switch it?

[Roman Zabaluev (haarolean)]

Is there anyone who can finally answer this?
