How to change the key for the latin alphabet key that I got asked to set up whole installing ubuntu 19.10?

By Emma Valentine

While installing ubuntu 19.10 I got asked to set a key to switch to a latin alphabet (I use an azerty french keyboard) and ubuntu recommended to use the right alt key, so I used it but now due to it, I can't write special character (like '@' or '[' for example). It is very annoying. I already got the advice to change the key in the keyboard shortcut setting but it isn't there, the "switch to next input" key is "Super + Space" but in the region and language setting it says that the "next source" shortcut is "Super+Space" AND "right alt"

Also disabling the english input source didn't get rid of the problem You can see that it says that I got two shortcut and only the french keyboard input source

You can see here that in the keyboard shortcut setting only the Super + Space shortcut appears
