Keyboard layout switching key not responsive

How is the fn key, used to switch between keyobard layouts, supposed to work?


Sometimes it works on the first press, sometimes I have to hold it longer...


It works fine when using it as the Fn key, so I assume it's in the software... Or am I using it wrong?

MacBook Air, macOS 12.5

There are various reports of flakey behavior of the Globe/Fn key when switching keyboards.


Try the traditional Control Space instead (you may have to turn it on in system prefs > keyboard > shortcuts).


Or Caps Lock can do it if you are switching between Latin and Non-Latin keyboards.
