Hi, thanks for the reply. I'm referring to the used keyboard layout in general. It mainly affects the text input, but since different layouts have different keys on different positions it may also cause troubles with the shortcuts as well.
Anyhow, I investigated the logs today into a greater detail and found the following lines. At first, the keyboard loads correctly: Nov 5 20:06:26 ziima /usr/lib/gdm3/gdm-x-session[11706]: (**) Option "xkb_model" "pc105" Nov 5 20:06:26 ziima /usr/lib/gdm3/gdm-x-session[11706]: (**) Option "xkb_layout" "us,cz" Nov 5 20:06:26 ziima /usr/lib/gdm3/gdm-x-session[11706]: (**) Option "xkb_variant" ",qwerty" Nov 5 20:06:26 ziima /usr/lib/gdm3/gdm-x-session[11706]: (**) Option "xkb_options" "grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll,caps:none" but this may mess that up: Nov 5 20:06:36 ziima systemd[11420]: Stopped target GNOME Keyboard handling. Nov 5 20:06:36 ziima systemd[11420]: Stopping GNOME Keyboard handling... Since I'm in transition to i3, I still have gnome shell installed and I suspect it may cause the mess. Though I'm not sure why it tries to start, when I launch i3.
