    Fresh off the block! (noobie question)

    So I just got my first mac yesterday and I'm extremely glad I did so. This machine simply surpasses any other offerings in the market right now.

    So anyways, Here's my question!....How do I toggle between Arabic and English keyboard layouts by using a keyboard shortcut ?....In windows, It Used to be Shift+Alt.

    Online, I saw that command+space would do the job but that it was occupied by spotlight in OSX Leopard, People suggested that you would switch Spotlight's keyboard shortcut from the settings and the OS would automatically promote Keyboard toggle through Command+Space. This method didn't work with me. command+space does nothing now. Help?

    You can change it by going to System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Keyboard Shortcuts.

    Yes I have tried that!. That's what I stated in my OP.

    Anyways, I found out what was going on when I checked back again right after I posted!

    Under System Preferences > Keyboard and Mouse > Keyboard shortcuts, "Input Menu" and it's Entire Drop down options were unselected, So I just had to toggle it!

    Macs have been surpassing all offerings since 2002.
