Ahau, how do you create such a keyboard shortcut?
And I found this:
In Settings / Settings Editor / keyboard layout the Default is empty, and I presume the fallback settings for "empty" is US...
But how can I tell the Settings Editor / keyboard layout / Default it should have UK and DE/noreadkeys as default?

I found more info here

but all I read is that there is still no solution...

The problem is caused by the "official" xfce4 keyboard layout settings manager storing the preferences in the xfconf registry (you can find them using the Settings Editor under "keyboard-layouts")
while the xkb-panel-plugin stores its preferences in xkb using libxklavier.
The two settings managers are unaware of each other and so they keep destroying each others work.
I think the best solution would be to add the missing options to the official xfce4 keyboard layout settings dialog (the missing options are layout switching key and layout indicator) and make the xkb-panel-plugin use the same xfconf registry entry and open the official settings manager as its preferences.
