Sorry to hear that this feature does not provide a good experience with the
Chinese version of Windows. It is hoped that the following could help in your
transition to <Ctrl>+<Space> for column selection keyboard shortcut.

The Windows system shortcut for Input method switching is <Win>+<Space> for
Windows 8.1 and Windows 10.
Is it possible to use <Win>+<Space>?
<Ctrl>+<Space> is a hot key for between Chinese (Traditional) ↔ Chinese
(Simplified).

Microsoft themselves do not provide a good experience for their own ecosystem
as <Ctrl>+<Space> also conflicts with Microsoft programs (Word, Visual Studio,
et cetera).
It may due the to the legacy when keyboards did not have the <Win>/<Super> key.
“It conflicts with CTRL+Space in the Visual Studio IDE, and is pretty annoying
beyond that.”

Perhaps Microsoft is transiting from <Left Alt>+<Shift> to using <Win>+<Space>.

In Linux Mint, the IME change be set to <Super>+<Space> (if it is not set to
that by default). <Super> is the reference to the <Win> key. Perhaps other
Linux distos can do this too?

Using the <Win>/<Super> key for changing the IME seems appropriate as:
1. it is an operating system feature; and
2. it frees the <Ctrl> and <Alt> keys for programs/applications.

Please see comment 3, comment 5 and comment 7 for rudimentary reasons for using
<Ctrl>+<Space>.

Thank you
