    Mac OS X 10.6

    In System Preference > Keyboard > Keyboard shortcuts, "Show Spotlight search field" and "Select the previous input source" keyboard shortcuts are conflict to each other. It seems can only be restored to default value. Can I customized re-assign them? Thanks.

    Double-click on the assigned shortcut, and enter anything you want.

    See Apple's Knowledge Base article, Mac 101: Set your preferences (in particular, its "Customize Your Keyboard Shortcuts" section) for details.

    What shortcut key do you use to switch keyboards on your mac? Windows uses Alt + Shift, and on the Mac the default is Apple + Space. However, that's also the shortcut for spotlight.

    I ended up disabling the spotlight shortcut.

    What's your preferred keyboard switching shortcut?

    On a Mac I use Command + Shift + Z to switch languages. I was already used to Alt + Shift from Windows and, since Command + Shift alone wasn't a valid combo, I just added the nearest key (Z).

    Since I use GNOME-DO on Linux, and used to use Google Desktop Search on Windows, I changed the spotlight shortcut to Ctrl + Space, and use Apple + Space for language switching.
