OS X El Capitan: If Spotlight or the Finder opens when you switch input sources
If keyboard shortcuts open Spotlight or a Finder window instead of the Input menu, change the conflicting shortcuts in System Preferences.
-
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Keyboard, then click Shortcuts.
-
Select Spotlight on the left, then deselect the checkboxes or set new shortcuts (click the current shortcut, then press the key combination you want to use).
-
Select Input Sources on the left, then select the checkboxes for “Select the previous input source” and “Select next source in Input menu.”
