[Bug 1218322] Re: Can't set keyboard layout change to alt+shift, ctrl+shift, etc.

[Taras]

Kim,

First try this:

Install gnome-tweak-tool (should pull in gnome-tweaks)

Than in the gui:

Tweak tool >> Typing >> Modifiers of input sources switch >>  Alt shift.

First time, I was able to bypass this bug by installing Unity desktop
(planned on it anyway), and configuring the shortcut there. The settings
are transferred to gnome shell settings.

how-to install unity has been detailed here:
https://linuxconfig.org/ubuntu-20-04-unity-desktop

In case you want to keep it:

And how to remove it:

But my guess is that in gnome shell it was disabled intentionally as it breaks other shortcuts:

There are also some suggestions for command line config, but I did not try this:
