How to unset keyboard layout shortcuts in fedora

Question

Yesterday I installed fedora. The set up allowed me to pick from a limited amount of shortcuts to switch the layout.

Now, in KDE, I found that I can set the shortcut to switch layouts from the system settings, under keyboard layout, so I set my preferred shortcut there.

Problem is, I can't figure out how to clear the shortcut I set during set-up. It's nowhere to be found.

How do I unset the shortcut I specified during set-up?

I also was stuck on a similar issue for a little bit, my difference was that I simply wanted to switch from "Ctrl + Shift" to "Alt + Switch".

I figured out that you can edit the settings manually (although not recommended). On my Fedora 42 KDE installation the configuration file is located at /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf, my configuration looks like this:

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "system-keyboard"
        MatchIsKeyboard "on"
        Option "XkbLayout" "lv,us"
        Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
        Option "XkbVariant" "apostrophe,"
        Option "XkbOptions" "grp:ctrl_shift_toggle"
EndSection

In my case, I had to switch the line Option "XkbOptions" "grp:ctrl_shift_toggle" to Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle", then reboot the system, and now, instead of "ctrl + shift" it is "alt + shift" to switch between layouts.

In your case, I assume that you can simply remove this Option line in this configuration.
