Hi Andrew, Thanks for the suggestion. This worked well I ended up reversing your shortcut setup, using cmd+space for spotlight and control+space for switching inputs. ALso I'd neglected to spot the warning message which appears when one creates a shortcut which conflicts with another. If I'd noticed this earlier, I could have avoided asking my original question in the first place. Thanks!
