SUMMARY The Keyboard KCM — Layouts page, in the layouts table, supports assigning multi key combination key sequences for switching to particular keyboard layouts. KGlobalAccel seem to have no issues with them either, as they all work on the desktop (except on a locked screen — more on this later). Shortcuts KCM, however, only shows the first key combination of a key sequence (e.g. only "Ctrl+K" portion of a "Ctrl+K, Ctrl+E" key sequence), and the capture forcefully ends after the first key combination. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open Keyboard KCM, navigate to the Layouts tab. 2. Check the Configure Layouts check box. 3. Add some layouts to the table. 4. Double click any layout's Shortcut column. 5. Input some multi key combination key sequence, such as Ctrl+K, Ctrl+E. 6. Apply changes. (Note: you might need to change some other option as well, due to the BUG 488269). 7. Open Shortcuts KCM, navigate to the Keyboard Layout Switcher component in the System Services section. 8. On the right/shortcuts pane, check the «Switch keyboard layout to %your_language%» entry.

Unfortunately this requires a pretty extensive fix involving adding api for kglobalaccel, and porting all users to the new api. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 480304 ***
