Looking in gnome-control-center it seems that no option is activated (bold or checked) by default. Is the key mentioned useful with GNOME 3.4's keyboard code or is it new for 3.6? (we are still on the 3.4 codebase and using libgnomekbd)

One cannot use a keyboard shortcut to change the keyboard layout as none are enabled by default. A very common shortcut to change keyboard layouts is Alt-Shift. And if askubuntu.net is any indicator questions relating to keyboard shortcuts to switch layouts are very popular: http://askubuntu.com/questions/68127/how-to-switch-language-keyboard-combination http://askubuntu.com/questions/34210/toggling-language-with-altshift-doesnt-work And possibly many other similar question. I believe Ubuntu Operating system should provide/enable a keyboard layout switching shortcut by default when more than one keyboard layout is configured. I have tested and Alt-shift works correctly with Unity Hud and Unity Dash, with no conflicts or confusing behaviour (e.g. pressing alt clearly triggers hud, and one can use alt+shift to clearly change layout with or without HUD active).
