Can anyone help please?

To see Unity shortcuts press and hold the Super
key.
To customize shortcuts open System settings
(gnome-control-center
), go to keyboard
and select Shortcuts
tab. Explore all the categories to find what you're interested in changing and click on it to change. Then press the keys for your new shortcut.
To change keyboard layout shortcut, in the system settings
go to Text Entry
and change the shortcuts there.
Some of the shortcuts are impossible to change with built-in system settings GUI. Most other system-wide shortcuts are modified through dconf
as described here.
sudo apt-get install dconf-editor
dconf-editor
org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings
XKBOPTIONS="grp:
from /etc/default/keyboard
? I doubt that .

On Ubuntu 18.04 and later:
If you want to add a custom shortcut scroll to the bottom of the applet and click on the +
symbol to create a shortcut:
(Para alternar ventanas)
To switch windows -> Alt+Tab
(Para alternar pestañas)
To switch tabs -> Ctrl+Tab
(Para alternar teclados)
To switch keyboards (if you have severals) -> Super+Space
(Para abrir una aplicación de la barra de tareas)
To launch an app in the main side bar: hold Super until a number is shown above the app (then press the number for the app you want) or just press Tab key while you hold Super to slide through them.
