Windows 7 - use [Win key] + Space for Switch Language

Question

In windows 8, I love how I can switch to Japanese input by pressing [Win key] + [space bar].

Can I do this in Windows 7 without auto hotkey or special programs?

You mean instead of the default Alt + Shift? – Austin T French Oct 11 '13 at 23:45 — Austin T French, Oct 11 '13 at 23:45

your default switch language shortcut should be 'Shift'+'Ctrl'
download Autohotkey (http://autohotkey.com)
install and run it
right click by icon in tray menu -> 'Edit This Script'
remove or comment (each comment line started with ';') existed script
copy-paste this:

#Space:: WinWait, Program Manager, Send, {CTRLDOWN}{SHIFTDOWN}{SHIFTUP}{CTRLUP}

save changes and close editor
if autohotkey program not running after restart, you should manually added it to autorun

Go to start -> Type Language -> Change Keyboard or other Input Languages -> Go to the Keyboards and Languages Tab, and choose change keyboards. -> Change Key sequence...

But, it appears that key sequence is not supported / present.

This is the reason of the question itself, Capitan Obvious. – Даниил Пронин Dec 10 '15 at 01:05
