Caps lock now used to switch languages (I can't get rid of it)

Ask Ubuntu Asked by Arnaud Malfoy on December 3, 2021

After an update, now the caps lock is also used to switch language keyboard (rather than Super key+space) which is super annoying. I have not found a way to disable it in the keyboard shortcuts. Can anyone help?

Thanks a lot

I had a problem such as this for a long time, and the GNOME settings didn't work. If you're still stuck, try

setxkbmap us

Provided that works, but it's not persistent between sessions, try putting it in ~/.bashrc or something.

As per Permanently set keyboard layout options with setxkbmap in gnome/unity, GNOME may be resetting the keyboard map. In that case,

gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.keyboard active false

would have to be used. You may also look to that page for a less temporary setup if setxkbmap us does work.

Sorry about getting to you so late; I've been wanting to answer this question for months, but it has only been recently that I have both known the answer, could find this question on Google, and have had a desire to answer it.

As such time has passed since I came up with my solution in Gnome, I have moved on from Gnome, so I have unfortunately been unable to verify that my memory regarding my solution is correct.
