Public bug reported:

Keyboard indicator does not respond to Super+Space, the default shortcut
for switching to "next source".

Release: 13.10
Package indicator-keyboard version  0.0.0+13.10.20131010.1-0ubuntu1

I have two layouts: English (Macintosh) and Hebrew. When pressing
Super+Space, I was expecting to switch back and forth between the two.
Super+Space is the default short cut.

When I press Super+Space, nothing happens.

When I change the setting for "Switch to previous source" as
Alt+Super+Space, I can switch layouts. This is not set by default,
AFAIK.

NOTES:

It is significantly more difficult for users to work out where to setup
keyboard options now. AFAIK, i-bus is responsible for layout switching,
though xkb is set for anything else? Though some of the old options are
availabe now under "Shortcuts" setting, ie Compose etc., not everything
is available. For example, remaping Caps-Lock etc.

Also, there's a duplication in setting switch to next source, which can
be mapped in Settings -> Text Entry, and Settings -> Keyboard ->
Shortcuts
