Windows hotkey to change keyboard layout

Question

What is the hotkey to switch between keyboard layouts in windows, while in some application? I tried CTRL+shift and ALT+shift but it didn't work.

Solution 1

On Windows 10 press Win + Space to cycle through the languages. You may need to press multiple times until you see the overlay.

Solution 2

For me, it's CTRL+SHIFT to switch between keyboard layouts within the same language culture. I never set this manually, and I'm using Windows 10.

Try Left Alt+Shift. Also specify your version of Windows.

Alt+Shift - Windows 7 and Win button + Space Win 8 and 10

you can post that as an answer.

The best way to do it! Alt+Shif only pops the box with keyboard langs but you have to click on it to switch

although there is no feedback on the screen, the language bar still says, US keyboard, but that is the global working answer

Yes I still wonder who on earth came up with that. Every time you press something like Ctrl+Shift+F (global find in some IDEs for example) it silently changes the layout. And it's so hard to find that settings dialog to disable it.
