No, there is no pre-assigned shortcut.

You can choose from many options to assign a shortcut to switch layouts from the menu:

Keyboard Preferences > Layouts

This menu can be found under System > Preferences > Hardware

  • Ok this is a broken feature.. Other keyboard shortcuts stop working if you're using a key that's used to in a sequence to change layouts. For example I use "Winkey + Right" to move to right workspace and it doesn't work anymore because now I'm switching layouts with my Winkey..

The pre-assigned shortcuts are SUPER + Space.

SUPER generally means the Window key.
