           Summary: Making KB Layout switch similar to (horror) Win
           Product: xorg
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: Input/Keyboard
        AssignedTo: xorg-bugzilla-noise at freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: mtaub at yeda4all.org


When setting the layout-switching key combo to Alt+Shift (like in windows), the
switching occurs on key down event of the shift key. That conflicts with key
combos that start with Alt+shift (e.g Alt+Shift+N). They cause a erroneous
layout switch. IMHO only when the user releases the Shift key layout switch
should occur.

Also in Win there is a difference between left and right Alt+Shift. When one has
more then 2 layouts, left Alt+shift rotate them one way while the right
Alt+Shift rotate them the other.

Thanks, and God bless all those who toil on OSS ;-)
