Привет Пол. Добро пожаловать ! Я купил ноутбук с Ubuntu и теперь думаю что с этим делать. Работает стабильно вроде, но есть нюансы которые мне не нравятся ….смена комбинации клавиш для смены клавиатуры (латиница- кириллица) работает только заводская настройка (win +space) а мне хочется (ctrl+shift) …
I have moved your support question to a more appropriate category.
How to change keyboard layouts, including how to change shortcut to move between different keyboard layouts, is explained at https://help.gnome.org/gnome-help/keyboard-layouts.html
Hope that answers your question.

Hi,
First of all thanks for calling me out, and before we move forward with it I’m gonna kindly ask you to do me a favor if you don’t mind please.
Try to send posts in English (Even simply Translator 1 to 1) if you’re trying to get an answer from a English speaker - it does help, believe or not 
If not @ian-weisser , I wouldn’t even bother to open it as all of those “shapes” means nothing to me - of course with a fully respect to yourself and your culture.
Just saying that Communities are usually based on communication, collaboration and respect for each other, so let’s not fail on the fundamentals from day one!
Now let’s talk business…
Can u let us know bit more information about your laptop and it’s environment?
Things like Producer / Model and Version of Ubuntu installed would make things so much easier to get you a right information, so if you don’t mind spare those with us please?
You can simply get those from “About” section located in “Settings” if you’re on “clean” Ubuntu.
Let us know if you’re struggling then we can provide you with set of commands to gain those from the terminal.
Cheers

I’ll try it in English. Maibenben S14A laptop (Ubuntu 24.04)… I can’t change the keyboard settings (Cyrillic to Latin), the default key combination is (win+space), but I want it to be (ctrl+shift)
Go to system Settings>Keyboard>Special Character Entry.
Now you will be able to change the Alternate Characters Key and the Compose Key.
That may give you what you want.
Regards
Откройте «Настройки системы» > «Клавиатура» > «Ввод специальных символов».
Теперь вы сможете изменить клавишу альтернативных символов и клавишу создания.
Это может дать вам то, что вы хотите.
С уважением

There are several keyboard shortcuts with CTRL+SHIFT+(something). What you want to do will mess up all those shortcuts. Are you sure you want that?

…it doesn’t matter … let it be (alt+ctrl) but not (space+win)
…if it was that easy I wouldn’t be bringing this problem up here…I’ve tried many different ways and all I’ve been able to achieve is …-another key combination but the keyboard change (Cyrillic - Latin)occurs on the second press …the reverse keyboard change (Latin-Cyrillic) is done with one key combination
Just an FYI … It is very easy to define settings (selection of sub-set of languages) which you would like to be auto-translated by the browser. At least, with Firefox, it is very simple … and works great!
What does Firefox have to do with it?? These are Ubuntu system settings. Keyboard shortcut settings for changing the keyboard language… I think??? Win+space - Latin…win+space - Cyrillic … I want to change this keyboard shortcut to alt+shift, for example

My apologies for the misunderstanding! My comment was directed at the request for translating your post, not at your keyboard issue.
It’s strange … I try to translate into English what I’m “arguing” here … of course, using Google Translate, but … I’m waiting for an automatic translation, and sometimes it doesn’t happen, and what I write in English is automatically translated back into Russian …???XDDD
Just to clarify, the Firefox auto-translate function is ONLY for reading what is posted in a configured “non-domestic” language …
NOT for translating from Russian into English for input as a post.
Please share with us the report from the following command:
sudo hwinfo --keyboard
Also, please share report from the following probing script (run using sudo), which I just created:
#!/bin/sh
log=0
if [ "${1}" = "--save" ]
then
log=1
fi
lsusb -v |
awk 'BEGIN{
p=0 ;
}{
if( p == 1 ){
if( $0 ~ /^Bus/ ){
p=0 ;
}else{
print $0 ;
} ;
}{
if( $0 ~ /[Kk]eyboard/ ){
p=1 ;
print $0 ;
} ;
} ;
}' |
{
if [ ${log} -eq 1 ]
then
tee lsusb__KEYBOARD.txt
else
cat -
fi
}
Lastly, please share the output from the following:
sudo inxi -Fxxx
The details from those three reports will go a long way to help us define the problem context more clearly.

Hi,
are you on Gnome or KDE - for Gnome you need Gnome Tweaks and there you can change under Keyboard + Mouse / Additional Layout Options to the shortcut keys you want. Under KDE - Settings / Keyboard / configure switching.
