Whatever shortcut I choose in system settings to switch between keyboard languages, it won't work. Tried all available combination - Alt+Shift, Ctrl+Alt, Alt+Space, etc.

What could cause this? I've already reinstalled elementaryOS - didn't help. I suspect something is wrong with my user configuration, but I don't know what. I don't want to reset all settings.

DISTRIB_ID=elementary
DISTRIB_RELEASE=5.1.5
DISTRIB_CODENAME=hera
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="elementary OS 5.1.5 Hera"

What can cause this issue? Is there a way to debug this maybe?

Keyboard settings

For me it is working.

Next time, don't reinstall anything, just delete the ~/.Xauthority file, it will be recreated automatically next time you log in:

sudo rm ~/.Xauthority

Then log in normally. Let me know did it solve the issue.

  • Try in terminal: sudo gsettings set org.pantheon.desktop.gala.keybindings switch-input-source "['<Alt>Shift_L', '<Alt>Shift_R', '<Shift>Alt_L', '<Shift>Alt_R']"
