Bug Description

is that possible to use shift_caps_switch method for switching layouts in Loki? It was available in Luna, but not now. There's no such option in settings, nor editing the value with dconf works.

I'm unable to confirm this issue. I see shift + caps in the layout settings on my installation of Loki

No, not shift+caps, Shift / Shift+Caps, there are different things — shift_caps_switch and shift_caps_toggle. With 'switch' method you use caps to first layout and shift+caps to second, not shift+caps for next.

This method is not available because Gnome components doesn't support it (you can see all available methods here https://github.com/GNOME/mutter/blob/master/src/core/keybindings.c, using "g_str_equal (iso_next_group_option" phrase in the search).

For this reason, I think it's upstream issue.

It was available in Luna, has anything changed in Gnome/else?

As well I see that option on line 405 there.

OP, line 405 includes "shift_caps_toggle" option (not "shift_caps_switch") for switching to next layout by Shift+Caps and this option is available from switchboard.

Yeah, my bad. Has anything changed since Luna? Isn't that possible now to use "switch"?

This one was available in Luna but not in Loki. It's the issue. Is that possible to use it now, if yes, how can I switch it?
