Regarding the "which shortcut should be used by default for toggling layouts".

Ubuntu or Gnome should not decide that shortcut worldwide. It depends on the locale. In Greece, we've been using Alt+Shift since at least the '80s. Windows recently started offering Win+Space as well, but in parallel, without cancelling Alt+Shift, and very few people use Win+Space here.

AFAIK console-setup already has code to provide the correct defaults for most locales. If, for some locales, there's no sensible default, then ubiquity should ASK the user, not default to "none". None does not make sense; of course a Greek user will need to type Greek. Console-setup already has such a dialog, if ubiquity doesn't want to use a default shortcut after 18.04.2, it should at least present the layout toggling switch dialog, NOT default to "none".
