I used to use Ctrl-Shift combination to switch keyboard layouts (ru <--> us)
but in this case i cant use any of the Ctrl-Shift-* hotkeys in any software i try.
I noticed, that the keyboard layout becomes swithced as soon an both keys are DOWN --
pressing any other key is not treated as Ctrl-Shift-<key> combination.
For example -- in Windows i also use Ctrl-Shift to switch layouts, but there, the layout
becomes switched only when both SHIFT and CTRL keys are UP, and no other key was
pressed while they were down -- in that case the hole combination is treates as
Ctrl-Shift-<key> combination, and the layout is not changed.
