Keyboard layout settings

SUMMARY

If a keyboard layout that includes level3(ralt_switch) is set as the default
one (top of the list) and "Ctrl position > Swap Left Alt with Left Ctrl" is
checked then the left Meta key seizes to function and the Left Alt key instead
is recognized as the Meta key in global shortcuts. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add a layout that includes `level3(ralt_switch)` - for example: English
(Workman)
2. Put the new layout at the top
3. Try using a shortcut that includes the Meta(Windows) key - for example `Meta
+ L` to lock the session
4. Try again using `LCtrl + L` (I mean the physical `LCtrl` key)

OBSERVED RESULT
The global shortcut does not work when using the `Meta` key. The global
shortcut instead is triggered with the `LCtrl` key.

EXPECTED RESULT
The global shortcut should work with the `Meta` key as that's what it's mapped
to and that's how it works with other layouts.
