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)

Title:
  Ubuntu does not provide keyboard shortcut to change keyboard layouts
  by default

Bug description:
  After setting up alternative keyboard layout during installation, or
  post-install in the System Settings, one can only switch keyboard
  layouts using the keyboard indicator in the unity panel. 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).
