I regularly switch between 3 scripts (English/Roman, Kannada and Hindi/Sanskrit/Devanagari).

In 12.04, I used to enable IBus by typing Ctrl+Space to switch from English to Kannada, and again the same key to switch back to English. If I wanted to move to the next input method, I used to press Alt+Left Shift.

Now I have upgraded to 14.04. Here I see the option to move to the next and previous input method. However, I don't see any option to disable the input method completely and use the default (English) script.

So, If I have to switch from English to Kannada, I have to press Ctrl+Space, and then from Kannada to English, I have to either press Ctrl+Space twice, or Ctrl+Shift+Space

Is there any way to just enable/disable the IBus input just like it was in 12.04?

Go to Language Support and Locate Keyboard input Method System and change it from Ibus to None.

@techtonic : Why did you edit this answer after receiving my answer on your question askubuntu.com/questions/668388/… ? Does this mean that it worked for you ? If yes, I think it would be fair enough to accept / upvote my answer ! – cl-netbox Sep 2 '15 at 12:37
    
@cl-netbox, probably I didn't see your answer while adding a picture here. Disabling IBus didn't help - it just disabled language switching support, and I haven't found a way to switch languages without IBus. How should it work without IBus? – anatoly techtonik Sep 2 '15 at 13:29
