Alternating 2 keyboard layouts with Key Combination

Sorry it was a typo, _ instead of -, that caused the problem.

I want to have a key combination to alter the keymaps. It worked with one for us and one for hu, but now I want to use one key combination to alternate them.

I have this script:

CURRENT=`/home/ha/bin/xkblayout-state print "%s"`
case $CURRENT in
    us)
	    setxkbmap hu
	    ;;
    hu)
	    setxkbmap us
	    ;;
esac

I've installed xkblayout-state from source.

Works properly from command line:

$ change-xkbmap.sh 
$ #;;''
$ change-xkbmap.sh 
$ #ééáá

But when I set the key combination, it doesn't work.

I have used the same key combination for setxkbmap hu and it worked.

If it's possible, I would use Super+Space, but it's worse. It also prints a space.

Ubuntu 22.04 in Hyper-V, Gnome 42.9

Before you write that I can switch without scripts. Yes I know, but it stops working after some time (after some suspend of the host Win10) in Hyper-V.

UPDATE 1: The permission is -rwxrwxr-x so the problem is not that.

UPDATE 2: There was a typo in the script's full path. It works well now with Alt-Shift-H or with Super-X but not with Super+Space nor with Alt-Shift-Space.
