smart keyboard layout switching
Unfortunately the Arch team has rejected the patch https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/26490
Quote:
""...By default xorg switches keyboard layout on keys press (but it SHOULD do that when keys are released). For example, if we have ctrl+shift to change layout and ctrl+shift+tab to navigate to previous tab then we are unable to use second shortcut..."
What are possible legal Arch ways to get this functionality?

Make your own PKGBUILD and apply the patch yourself. It does come with the disadvantage that you will need to compile the xorg-server yourself every-time there is an update.

Re: smart keyboard layout switching
I would not start the thread having enough skills to keep the patch in sync with xorg server evolution
