I would like to be able to toggle back and forth between keyboard maps on-the-fly while within a particular application. Specifically, I would like to toggle between Cyrillic and Latin characters within a single IRC session.
As it is, I must toggle the keyboard to the desired map, *then* open desired application, and cannot toggle between maps while within that application. This situation simply won't work in chat with English-speaking Russian friends in IRC as I'm learning Russian language and sometimes can make myself understood in Russian and sometimes can't.
I have gone K Menu>Control Center>Regional & Accessibility>Keyboard Layout and set both Russian and US-English keyboard maps. The keyboard-map toggle icon (represented by alternating US and Russian flag images) appears in the lower-right hand corner of the bottom panel.
When I go K Menu>Control Center>Regional & Accessibility>Country/Region & Language, I can effectively install only one language at a time. When I try to install an alternative language, only one alternative is available-- US English.
Perhaps I'm doing something wrong or not doing enough at K Menu>Control Center>Regional & Accessibility>Keyboard Layout?
Once again, I would like to be able to toggle back and forth between keyboard maps on-the-fly while within a particular application. I hope I'm making sense here.
If more information is needed, please don't hesitate to ask.
