1) Right click on "Keyboard Layouts" panel plugin -> Properties -> Set Change layout option to "Ctrl+Shift" -> close; 2) works great 3) reboot 4) Right click on "Keyboard Layouts" panel plugin -> Properties -> Set Change layout option to "Ctrl+Shift" is set to "-" :((((( Fix it or i'll cry!
There are far more issues with the xkb plugin (Gentoo here). I wanted to issue a new bug report, but maybe it's all related: * If I try to remove the us layout (have de and cz installed) -> plugin crashes * If I set de layout to default, setting gets lost after next reboot (again us) Maybe the Xfce4-xkb-plugin needs a general rework? :-) Richard
Well, I'm not programmer at all, I only maintain this package. If you can fix this bug - patches are always welcome.

confirmed - same here - very annoying - subscribe. I cloned the git repo. Whenever I have the time I will try to fix it ... or write a python based replacement... OR ... I found that putting this in my ~/.bashrc file solves all issues for me : setxkbmap -layout "us,bg(phonetic)" -option "grp:capslock_toggle" this makes it toggle on caps lock press. It cleans all setxkbmap settings (i.e. that plugin's settings too). The plugins readme says it detects setxkbmap's setup and switching events - it is true.... you can also do : setxkbmap -layout "us,bg(bas_phonetic)" -option "grp:alt_shift_toggle" to toggle via alt shift... Google for setxkbmap's manual/docs to find the rest options... I hope I made someoene happy.
some keywords for int/ext search indexing. shortcut-settings for switching between keyboard-layouts are gone after restart or logging on
