Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reproducing keyboard-layout switching with different Ctrl and Shift combinations and determine whether the behavior is specific to X11. Done means the requested combinations switch layouts reliably, with the affected environment and expected behavior documented.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I could not set the keyboard layout switch to any ctrl + any shft, in any sequence.
It seems to be related to the X11. Is there such an issue somewhere? Should I add it to another repository?

(I use a translator. issue correctly compiled? should I choose his type and add labels?)
