Separate keyboard shortcuts for switching between keyboard layouts

rated 0 times [ 4] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 2357 / 2 Years ago, sun, march 20, 2022, 5:25:11

I have a few language keyboard layouts installed in 12.04. I am using Ctrl-Shift keyboard shortcut for switching between language layouts. Such switching method takes a lot of my time.

Is there any possibility to set up a different keyboard shortcut for each language keyboard layout?

For example:

Ctrl-Shift-1 (English layout),

Ctrl-Shift-2 (Polish layout),

Ctrl-Shift-3 (Italian layout), etc.

Simple: go to keyboard settings, click on "Shortcuts", and add "Custom shortcut". For each shortcut, add the respective command that chooses one layout. The commands are

setxkbmap -layout en

setxkbmap -layout pl

setxkbmap -layout it

etc.
