Hello, Ubuntu Studio/KDE here.
Is there any way to change the shortcuts priority? For example, there is a way to switch to keyboard layout 1 by pressing left Ctrl, and to layout 2 by pressing right Ctrl, but in that case any other shortcut that has Ctrl stops working. If I set the layout switching to Ctrl+Shift, any shortcut using Ctrl+Shift+anything else won’t work.
On windows, there is a third-party program that allows selecting layouts via right and left Ctrl, and it doesn’t interfere with any shortcuts that use Ctrl, i.e. the layout change will trigger only with a single Ctrl press, no holding, no chords. Is there a (relatively easy) way to achieve this in Linux?
You are about to find out how much you hate the caps lock key’s unjustifiable real estate.
Welcome.
I don’t have the answer to your problem, but this sort of thing can easily be done with a Vial compatible mechanical keyboard.
