Keyboard layout switcher main and 3rd level shortcuts don't provide the key combination I need (meta+space), so I've set up an Alternative Shortcut (meta+space). When the screen is locked I can't change the layout using the alternative shortcut no more, so if screen was locked on non-English language, I can't enter the password and unlock. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set up only "alternative" keyboard layout switcher shortcut (meta+space in my case) 2. Lock screen 3. Try to change keyboard layout using alternative shortcut Actual Results: The keyboard layout is not changed Expected Results: The keyboard layout is chagned
keyboard shortcuts are not available while the screen is locked, but there should be a language switcher when the screen is locked. You just need to click it with the mouse.
Actually the shourtcut appears to be working now when running KDE 4.11.14.
