Research direction
Check the electron shortcut configuration in the source code, likely in a config file or main process. The default shortcut is Ctrl+Space on Windows/Linux but conflicts with macOS language switcher. Look for where shortcuts are defined and consider making it configurable or changing the default to a different combination like Cmd+Space.
