Git master everything STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Have 2+ keyboard layouts 2. Add standalone Keyboard Layout widget to panel 3. Right-click on the widget > Configure 4. Keyboard Shortcuts > set one 5. Press that keyboard shortcut OBSERVED RESULT Nothing happens EXPECTED RESULT The keyboard layout switches as if the widget had been clicked ADDITIONAL INFORMATION If instead I set a shortcut on the version of the widget (via the System Tray's "entries" page in the System Tray's config window), then the layout still doesn't change when I press the shortcut, but the icon visibly animates a little bit as if it was trying to activate, but failing.
I recall we have already discussed it earlier and there was an assumption it's redundant to have yet another shortcut to switch the layout by activating the widget (we have plenty of them already), so better would be to just get rid of that widget > Configure > Keyboard Shortcuts tab altogether. I'm not sure if it's possible, though.
Redundant though it may be, we let the user do it, and in that case, it does nothing. So that's clearly a bug. Removing the ability to do it is one path to fixing the issue, but I don't actually see a problem with making it possible. Sometimes it's good to have multiple ways to accomplish something in the interest of increasing discoverability of the feature.
