Coming from OSX and Windows 7, I want to try to keep the same keyboard shortcuts so that I do not get confused when I switch between them. I have mapped the CTRL key in Windows 7 and Linux Mint to be next to the space-bar.
Next, I need to configure the keyboard shortcut for changing keyboard layouts. In OSX and Windows 7, I use CNTRL+SPACE but in Linux Mint's MATE desktop environment there is no option to specific a custom shortcut.
I switch keyboard layouts frequently, and I particularly like CNTRL+SPACE since it is easy on my hands. So how do I do this?
I have seen this answer related to Cinnamon about possible conflicts but that is not an issue for me. I really want this keyboard shortcut.
I am happy to switch to another DE if that is what it takes.
EDIT: I can toggle layouts using a little utility called xkblayout-state. But how do I run it from MATE? In KDE Plasma, I was successful in creating a shortcut and assigning CTRL+SPACE, and it worked. I don't see how to assign CNTRL+SPACE anywhere in MATE :(
EDIT2: Okay, In MATE Preferences(Control Center)->Keyboard Shortcuts at the bottom, there is an Add button. I put the script containing the command in command field and assigned CONTROL+SPACE as the shortcut. Nothing :(
