Hi,
Mojave (10.14.6) suddenly stopped allowing me to switch from one input source to another -be it manually by clicking the keyboard option at the menu bar or by hitting Option Space. It only happens on Apple programs like Calendar and Mail.
Anyone experiencing the same thing or knowing how to fix it?
Thanks!
Paul
Thank you Tom and everybody.
What MacOS was preventing me to do was switching input sources -be it via a keyboard shortcut or manually at the menu bar with the mouse. It didn’t really matter which method or what was the keyboard combination exactly. The problem was the inability to switch input sources.
Since the input sources were reset the problem disappeared.

What I am observing in Mojave 10.14.6 (18G95) is the following:
Thank you VikingOSX.
⌘-Spacebar is used -at least on my system and by default- for Spotlight Search. Option Spacebar is for switching the Input Source. It works, but on other programs (i.e. Chrome or any other non-Apple program). When I'm on Calendar, Mail, Safari, it won't.
Thanks VikingOSX.
Right, but that's not how the shortcuts work on my system. Nevertheless, the real problem, whatever the keyboard shortcuts are for cycling through input sources, is that you cannot change keyboards on Apple programs.
Today, I started my machine and my input sources were all gone. I added a new one (which is not the layout I was using as it was customized) and everything started working again. Strange, it appears it was a glitch or something with the OS. Who knows?
Thanks anyway,
Paul
I can change input sources in Apple Mail compose window by using ⌘-Spacebar repetitively to cycle through an on screen list of input sources.
option space should normally be reserved for characters. control space (and command space in earlier macos versions) are usual shortcuts for switching input sources.
