Spotlight shortcut does not work. When I press ctrl + space, nothing happen. When I click on magnifier icon by mouse, everything work well.
In Spotlight configuration and also in keyboard shortcut configuration this shortcut is present and marked as active.
I've also tried to disable and enable back this shortcut but it still not work.
MacBook Air, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)
Hello Zeleznypa,
For me, the default shortcut for Spotlight is Command - Space (not Control Space).
OS X Yosemite: Spotlight keyboard shortcuts
Open Spotlight to start a search Command (⌘)-Space bar
Open a Finder window with the search field selected Option-Command (⌘)-Space bar
I changed the shortcut in System Preferences to Control Space and it still worked with that.
Could you check your keyboard with the Keyboard Viewer?

Take care,

A similar thing happened to me. I was trying to set up a shortcut to switch between the US and Greek (for math) keyboards
(System Preferences/Keyboard/Shortcuts/Input Sources) - OS X Yosemite 10.10.5 (Macbook Pro)
I was able to set up a shortcut to switch keyboards with Option+Command+Spacebar but when I go to the settings for Spotlight, the only available options to set the Spotlight shortcut is Control+Spacebar. I don't know why I can't set it back to using Command+Spacebar like it has always been.
