Weston Hunter (westonhunter) wrote : Tweaktool Keyboard “Additional Layout Options” not persisting on USB keyboard unplug/reconnect

I am running Ubuntu 20.04.1 with Gnome. I am seeing new behavior which seems to have been introduced within the past couple of weeks. I have a couple custom keyboard settings configured in Tweaktool "Additional Layout Options". These settings work great.

I have a USB keyboard plugged into the machine. If I have the keyboard plugged in when I start my Gnome session, the customized keyboard layout options are correctly applied to the USB keyboard. If I unplug and reconnect the keyboard, the keyboard does will _NOT_ have the customized keyboard settings.

If I restart my Gnome session (using Alt-F2 -> "r"), the customized settings are applied to the keyboard.

I think this behavior is something new. Before, I was able to unplug/reconnect my keyboard and it would apply my customized keyboard settings on reconnect. Is there anything I can do to force the application of the custom keyboard tweaks on USB keyboard reconnect?

Is anyone else able to reproduce this? I don't have any other machines with Ubuntu 20.04.1 to test with.

Thanks!
