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.

Tested on
