Problem

  • I regularly use at least 3 languages, so I have the standard shortcut for switching the layouts (cmd+space). This works well if there are only 2 languages, EN->RU and RU->EN, for example.

  • Recently, I started using Japanese on top of it, which means that I have to keep switching between 4-5 layouts, which is a lot of cmd+space to press.

  • I want to assign a separate shortcut to a specific layout.

  • For example, for switching between RU and EN, I use cmd+space, and when I use a special shortcut like cmd+J+P I switch to Japanese layouts. I don't want it displayed by default in the language options:

Details

  • I'm on MacOS Catalina, and I couldn't find a way to attach a specific shortcut to one specific layout.

  • There has been a similar question about Windows 8, but it didn't give me an idea how to port this on macOS.

Possible solutions

  • Use Automator to solve such a problem? However, I am not sure what exactly to script there.
