but can set shortcut like only space

Likewise. Super key not valid for setting the shortcut (super + key)

Same. Colliding with another extension too.

Go to, settings >> keyboard >> view and customize shortcuts. In the search bar type: super+space, and clear that shortcut, like this.

Now, retrun to that switcher, and set your super+space

PS: Analyze those shortcuts before you remove them.

@jhecksonSa I had already done this prior, unfortunately no dice.

I had the same problem, and followed @jhecksonSa's advice to remove the default <Super>space shortcut.

The extension's UI doesn't recognize the <Super> key when trying to set it up, but you can set it up manually through the gnome shell config (e.g. with DconfEditor) by setting /org/gnome/shell/extensions/switcher/show-switcher to ['<Super>space'].

You can also do it through the terminal, with gsettings:

gsettings --schemadir ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected]/schemas/ set org.gnome.shell.extensions.switcher show-switcher "['<Super>space']"
