Hello,

I'm afraid, I didn't make myself clear. It wasn't about "switching language packs". It's specifically about the "ZWNJ character" (also known as half-space, or semi-space". To type this character, you would need combination of keys (currently Ctrl + Shift + 2) which is not so easy. The question was: is it possible to change this combination to something easier and perhaps meaningful (e.g. Shift + space).

Thanks,
