====== Keyboard layout options Gnome/i3/regolith issue ======
If there's an issue with i3/regolith key cobination interfering with keyboard layout shortcut for switching between layouts you can remove the shortcut by 2 ways.


===== Edit dconf directly =====
  dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/input-sources/xkb-options "['grp:caps_toggle']"

===== gnome tweaks approach =====

Installing gnome-tweaks

  sudo apt install gnome-tweaks

and go to //"Keyboard & Mouse"// then //Additional Layout Options// then //"Switching to another layout"// and uncheck the box (or select some other key combo) from the key combination.

===== Check  =====

Check the configuration before and after. This is an example when no key combo has been set.
Before:

  ~$ dconf read /org/gnome/desktop/input-sources/xkb-options
  ['grp:ctrl_alt_toggle']

After:

  ~$ dconf read /org/gnome/desktop/input-sources/xkb-options
  @as []

Alternatively use 
  setxkbmap -query

under //options// it will show the set keyboard combo or it will not show anything if there isn't a combination set up.
