Hi Andrey, I think adding this setting to the .minttyrc should do the job: KeyFunctions=F24:void Alternatively, if you get a choice in the matter, you might want to use the even more obscure yet quite fittingly named VK_SELECT (0x29) as your switching keycode. Also, Windows has the builtin Win+Space combination for switching keyboards, but I expect you've tried that.
