when I upgraded from gnome 3.4 to gnome 3.6 I realized that I could not change my keyboard layout using Alt+Shift anymore. so I installed gnome-tweak-tool and in Typing tab I selected Alt+Shift from Modifiers-only input sources.
now I can change my layouts using Alt+Shift but it is really slow ... what should I do ?
How to Set Keyboard Preferences and Customization. Choose System→Preferences→Keyboard. Click the Layouts tab. The Layouts tab provides all necessary tools to set and customize the keyboard layout.
Changing keyboard layoutIn the Ubuntu Desktop, click System Settings. Click Keyboard Layout. The Keyboard Layout window opens. Click the plus (+) sign in the bottom-left corner to open the available keyboard layouts.
it is because now in gnome 3.6 gnome handles input sources instead of x. you can disable gnome from handling keyboard layouts :
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.keyboard active false
then install qxkb and configure it for your own.
now x handles your keyboard layout and it is fast :).
