After having set-up multiple keyboard layouts how can I switch between them using a keyboard shortcut?

Default shortcut for switching layouts is Alt+Space.
If you’d like to use a different shortcut, you can set one in System Settings -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts -> Universal Access as “Next Keyboard Layout”.
However, it is not possible to select shortcut Shift+Alt or Shift+Ctrl.
You can do this through the terminal, but I strongly not recommend doing so, because you may have problems with other system shortcuts. If you still dare:
Shift+Alt:
gsettings set org.pantheon.desktop.gala.keybindings switch-input-source "['<Alt>Shift_L', '<Alt>Shift_R', '<Shift>Alt_L', '<Shift>Alt_R']"
Shift+Ctrl:
gsettings set org.pantheon.desktop.gala.keybindings switch-input-source "['<Ctrl>Shift_L', '<Ctrl>Shift_R', '<Shift>Control_L', '<Shift>Control_R']"

Is alt-Space the default for that? I had the impression these keys showed window menu by default– user170Mar 25, 2016 at 10:56

perfect answer. I've been using shift+alt for years and I've never had any issues with that Aug 19, 2016 at 20:36

Alt + Spaceswitches between your selected keyboard layouts

For anyone using Loki it's Alt + Shift
