Ubuntu - How to replace language shortcut from only Super key

While installing Ubuntu 20 (upgraded from 18) the wizard let me choose the key combination for changing input language. The key combination I had in Ubuntu 18 was Super+space, but I didn't find it there and chose "Super" (alone).

I don't know how to change it - in "Settings" it says that the current combination is "Super+space" (which is not the only one).

Now I cannot do anything with any combination with "Super" - it only changes the input language.

See image: I can change the other two, but not the "Left Win"

Found it!!!

Apparently, in "Tweaks" app (previously named TweaksUI), on the "Keyboard & Mouse" menu there is a button named "Additional Layout Options". When I clicked on it a pop-up opened and I opened the "Switching to another layout" sub-menu and found the problematic checkbox (Left Win) and un-checked it. So simple (when you know how).

In order to install "Tweaks" just run this on terminal:

sudo apt install gnome-tweak-tool
