On Windows I am able to switch between keyboard layouts by pressing Alt+Shift. Is there a similar keyboard shortcut in Ubuntu?

On modern Ubuntu versions (20.04, 22.04, 24.04), go to Settings -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts -> Switch to next input source.

On old Ubuntu versions, go to System Settings > Keyboard Layout > Layout > Options > Key(s) to change layout.

You should be able to select one or more key combinations to change your keyboard layout.

On newer Ubuntu versions the default shortcut is super+space.

The same. If don't work, choose keyboard layouts and then preferences and keys to switch the layout.
