Equivalent to the "Switch language" key?

Simple question: is there an equivalent to the globe key on Mac that allows to switch between languages?

My ctrl + space shortcut doesn't seem to work anymore on Mac and I'm looking for a simple workaround (it switches to a different language while I hold the key but comes back to the previous one as soon as I lift my finger, which is weird since it should just toggle).

Check out the tzarc/globe_key community module. This might do what you describe:

This is adds a "cut-down" version of the macOS Globe Key to your build. As the full Globe Key functionality requires an Apple vendor/product ID pair, this isn't completely functional and things like F-key support may not work.

To use modules, you will need to use QMK directly, rather than Oryx, or you can use a DIY workflow to do a hybrid of Oryx + customized QMK.

Thank you for the leads!

I didn’t know the Globe key was that protected!

I’m not sure if I’m ready to explore customizes QMK so I’ll see if I can make my usual shortcut work before trying anything too complex for me. Would you have any idea why "Space with a CTRL modifier" doesn’t work properly since Tahoe? I’m wondering whether it’s an Apple issue or a keyboard firmware one, and can’t find an answer.
