Change keyboard layout on the lock screen
- [x] I've run a search on the existing bug reports to make sure I'm not filing a duplicate (you can use the search box at the top left corner)
- [x] I've read the Regolith documentation and didn't find any relevant topic
- [ ] I tried asking on Slack (especially for configuration related issues)
Describe the bug The input language (keyboard layout) does not switch on the lock screen (super + alt + backspace).
To Reproduce Got to lock screen: press super + Esc keys.
Expected behavior Change keyboard layout from eng to rus on the lock screen by pressing super + alt + backspace keys.
Installation Details
- Regolith Install Type: [ISO]
- Regolith Version: [1.6]
Additional context There are two ways to switch the input language (which is very inconvenient):
- Click on the language icon;
- Using the TAB key, go to the language icon and press the spacebar, then return to the password entry field by pressing Shift + TAB.
Hmm, this is an upstream component (gnome-flashback) and there is not a lot that we can do here. I'll leave the issue open in case someone has some ideas.
