Bug Description
Ubuntu Touch OTA 10.1 on BQ Aquaris M10 FHD
Currently, there is no way (or I could not find one) to switch keyboard layout, when external keyboard is connected to the device. Tried possible "default" combinations like: Alt+Shift, Ctrl+Shift, Ctrl+Space, without luck.
With the help of PaulfraaOSAA on #ubuntu-touch figured out how it is possible too switch (workaround):
One keeps settings with external keyboard layouts open.
When one needs to switch layout of external keyboard, [s]he "just"
- switches to layout settings window
- moves needed layout to top of the list
- switches back to application window and continues typing...
This is... Well... Very very far from usable, especially for non-latin alphabet based languages, like Russian. Please introduce possibility to configure layout switcher and use keyboard to switch layouts.
