Fix hotkeys in Ubuntu 18.04 IDE and language switching

The first problem with non-working hotkeys was noticed in version 14.04. But in it she had a slightly different character. In Ubuntu 14.04, keyboard shortcuts did not work on the Cyrillic layout.

This problem with non-working hotkeys in Ubuntu 18.04 has a slightly different character. The fact is that the language switching is triggered precisely when the key combination is pressed ( Alt+Shift or Ctr+Shift ), which stops waiting for the next key to enter.

That is, as soon as the Alt + Shift combination was pressed, the language switch immediately works and, for example, the Alt + Shift + O combination no longer works.

After a long search on the forums was found explanatory article fixing the XOrg package for the correct operation of switching combinations and after it the very solution of the problem and bug fix .

Solution :

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nrbrtx/xorg-hotkeys

sudo apt update

sudo apt upgrade

reboot

PS . Faced the dump of this feature. I had to install gnome-tweaks .

sudo apt-get install gnome-tweak-tool

Remove Alt+Shift alternative switch and set to another combination.
