SUMMARY I have set my language switching to Alt+Shift in the new layout switch keybind option in the menu in 6.2.0 and been triggering it by pressing Shift, then Alt. After updating to 6.2.1, this method stopped working and now only pressing Alt then Shift works. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Set layout change keybind to Alt+Shift by pressing Alt then Shift. (If you press Shift then Alt it registers as Meta+Shift) 2. Try changing the layout by pressing first shift, then alt OBSERVED RESULT Nothing happens EXPECTED RESULT Layout change SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: (available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window) Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.1 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.7.0 Qt Version: 6.8.0 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Maybe this is connected with Bug 494579
Shift+Alt works if I set it in the old/deprecated X11 keymaps
Possibly caused by the fix for Bug 494579, which went into 6.2.1.
I have encountered this issue today. When opening the Keyboard dialog, there are TWO paths to set this option. Usually, I look to Key Bindings in the top right, which gives a long list of options: - Switching to another layout 1. Alt+Caps Lock (My choice) 2. Alt+Ctrl 3. Alt+Shift. If you select Alt+Shift here, it will not work (other options do work). However, if you INSTEAD of going to key bindings, open Keyboard - then look down to the bottom left corner, above HELP... `Change Layout` - click the button, and press Alt+Shift - then the key binding is set and works. So this bug is actually that the Key Bindings dialog option does not work.
As a workaround remove meta from shifted alt in the keymap.

Note that this has been removed from the default setting upstream in https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xkeyboard-config/xkeyboard-config/-/merge_requests/762. There hasn't been a release containing that commit though. Keeping this bug report open since we might want a proper fix (see thread in https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kglobalacceld/-/issues/1#note_1052309)

(In reply to Vladislav Grechannik from comment #1) > Shift+Alt works if I set it in the old/deprecated X11 keymaps By the way what do you mean by deprecated? XKB keymaps (as in xkeyboard-config and /usr/share/X11/xkb) are not deprecated at all and are the standard keymaps in Wayland too.
