reassign 484748 console-setup retitle 484748 Should not need console-cyrillic for proper operation thanks Well, Anton pushed for console-setup to be used for Cyrillic languages, so I guess he might have clues about this. The point seems to be that c-s does not work alone from what you claim above.... So, I prefer reassigning this to console-setup and get Anton's advice.
After some more research, the following facts came up:1) The "unusable keyboard" bug affects the Alt+Shift and Ctrl+Shift combinations (Alt+Shift is the default in MS Windows and thus is a popular choice)
2) After I press Alt+Shift or Ctrl+Shift (i.e., press Alt or Ctrl, press Shift, release Shift, release Alt or Ctrl), the kernel seems to think that Alt (or Ctrl) is still pressed (e.g., after pressing Alt+Shift, F2 switches to the second virtual console or, after typing "cat" and pressing Ctrl+Shift, pressing "O" produces "^O") until I switch the virtual console.
3) If I press this key combination as Shift+Alt or Shift+Ctrl (i.e., press Shift, press Alt or Ctrl, release Alt or Ctrl, release Shift), it works as it should.
4) Some presented options to switch layouts actually don't work (e.g., if I configure LShift+RShift, this combination has simply no effect).
