Universal kbd layout switching method and tool:
For all of you - here is the cure for a long time known KDE 3 problem - switching with some key combinations, specially with Alt+Shift.
1. Open Synaptic --> Search for: kkbswitch-trinity (current ver. 4:14.0.4) and install it.
2. Open Trinity Control Panel --> Regional & Accessibility --> Keyboard Layout
3. Remove ANY kind of ENGLISH layout you have and JUST add your local (native) language. In my case - Bulgarian.
4. Very important step: please, check "Include latin layout" with your native layout.
5. Goto "Swithing Options" Tab
6. Uncheck "Show indicator for single layout" and "Show country flag" - these will be maintained by KKBSwitch application.
7. Goto "Xkb Options" Tab
8. Here, you can choose switching combinations you like - in my case - Alt+ShiftThat all, you may close Trinity Control Center now and start KKBSwitch ( Alt+F2 --> kkbswitch)
Probably, you won't see English and your country flag at first, so feel free to set them up from "Settings" on KKBSwitch.Step-by-step screenshots:

]]>We will report these findings as a bug in the Trinity bug tracker. Thanks all for reporting.
]]>We will take a look on that and post a result in a few days
Seems it takes not so few days, yeah? ;-)
]]>Worth trying this followed by a restart
The first letter is a lower case L
ln -s /opt/trinity/bin/khotkeys /home/your user name/.trinity/Autostart/autostart_khotkeys
No effects, absolutely.
]]>The first letter is a lower case L
ln -s /opt/trinity/bin/khotkeys /home/your user name/.trinity/Autostart/autostart_khotkeys
]]>I'm pretty sure it is now part of the Trinity installation - but worth checking that ~./trinity/Autostart folder contains a symlink to /opt/trinity/bin/khotkeys
I do not have such a symlink there...
]]>It seems strange that none of the Xkb options I have tried work... I also tried to set the alternative keyboard shortcut to Ctrl+Shift but that would not get accepted, instead it gives Ctrl+ISO_Next_Group as the shortcut??? and pressing Ctrl +Shift does nothing... weird...
I tried this, too - with the same result.
