Hi Andrey,

I think adding this setting to the .minttyrc should do the job:

KeyFunctions=F24:void

Alternatively, if you get a choice in the matter, you might want to
use the even more obscure yet quite fittingly named VK_SELECT (0x29)
as your switching keycode.

Also, Windows has the builtin Win+Space combination for switching
keyboards, but I expect you've tried that.

Regards,
Andy
