Hi Martin-Éric,

it seems that grp:shift_toggle has been renamed into grp:shifts_toggle
to be consistent with other *_toggle options.
Your GNOME settings have to be updated; I do not know if this can be
done automatically, but you can launch the keyboard layout switcher
which should display this new option.
