I have a keyboard with English and Russian letters. Super+Space switches language.

I want also the right AltGr temporarily switch language while this key is pressed.

How to assign this function to AltGr?

Ubuntu 18.04.

Yes, you can set such option.

You need to install GNOME Tweaks with 

sudo apt install gnome-tweaks

then launch it and:

  1. Click on Keyboard & Mouse group
  2. In Keyboard section click Additional Layout Options button
  3. In opened window expand Switching to another layout

  4. Check checkbox named Right Alt (while pressed):

    GNOME Tweaks - set Additional Layout Options

  5. Close Additional Layout Options window and exit GNOME Tweaks.

Note: keyboard layout indicator does not react on pressed RightAlt and constantly shows the first layout name. I reported this as bug 1779327 to launchpad.net.
