How to disable Shift+Space hotkey for keyboard layout selection? (sopuli.xyz)

I’m using two keyboard layouts, German (QWERTZ) and German (neo).

I’d like to be able to switch between these two using the Super+Space shortcut. However, that only works for switching from QWERTZ to neo. When the current layout is neo, Super+Space does nothing.

On the other hand, when I’m in neo, Shift+Space does switch the layout, but it’s not supposed to.

How can I fix these two issues?

These are my keyboard settings from the system settings UI:

System:
  Kernel: 5.15.0-133-generic x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 11.4.0 Desktop: Cinnamon 6.0.4
    tk: GTK 3.24.33 wm: muffin vt: 7 dm: LightDM 1.30.0 Distro: Linux Mint 21.3 Virginia
    base: Ubuntu 22.04 jammy

Is there any difference between pressing Super then Shift, and pressing Shift then Super? Maybe the Super key is something else on your shift layer.

Pressing Super+Shift was never the question. I’m talking about Shift+Space and Super+Space. They behave the same, regardless of order.
