I am happy to say you are wrong. At least in that you have to use 
Command-Space. Access the Keyboard control panel, then click on 
Options. If you select the check box the shortcut will become 
Command-Option-Space.

If this will meet your needs, I am very glad to provide it. If it 
doesn't, then you should consider Bill Briggs' suggestion.
