Re: switch keyboard layout

[Frederic Muller <fredm gnome org>]

Dear George,

Which languages are you switching from and which Input Method Editor are 
you using?

I use iBus and switch (by default) using CTRL+SPACE and the properties 
allow to modify that combination. However I am realizing that my 
keyboard layout doesn't change, even though I can type 3 languages with 
it (probably more in fact...).

Another way would be to modify your window switching combination and you 
would still have a consistent experience over your computing needs.

Maybe someone will have a better answer though.

Fred
