<p>You can preview an image of any layout by selecting it in the list and clicking
57
<gui><media type="image" src="figures/input-keyboard-symbolic.png" width="16" height="16">preview</media></gui>,
58
or by clicking <gui>Preview</gui> in the pop-up window when adding a layout.</p>

68
clicking <gui><media type="image" src="figures/input-keyboard-symbolic.png" width="16" height="16">preview</media></gui></p>
61
<p>When you add multiple layouts, you can quickly switch between them using
62
the keyboard layout icon on the top bar. The top bar will display a short
63
identifier for the current layout, such as <gui>en</gui> for the standard
64
English layout. Click the layout indicator and select the layout you want to
65
use from the menu.</p>
71
<p>Certain languages offer some extra configuration options. You can
72
identify those languages because they have an icon
73
<gui><media type="image" src="figures/system-run-symbolic.svg" width="16" height="16">preview</media></gui> depicted. If you want to access these
74
extra parameters, select the language from the <gui>Input Source</gui> list
76
<gui style="button"><media type="image" src="figures/emblem-system-symbolic.svg" width="16" height="16">preview</media></gui> button will give you access to
77
the extra settings.</p>

<p>When you use multiple layouts, you can choose to have all windows use the
68
80
same layout or to set a different layout for each window. Using a different
69
81
layout for each window is useful, for example, if you're writing an article
70
82
in another language in a word processor window. Your keyboard selection will
71
be remembered for each window as you switch between windows.</p>
73
<p>By default, new windows will use the default keyboard layout. You can
74
instead choose to have them use the layout of the window you were last
75
using. The default layout is the layout at the top of the list. Use the
76
<gui>↑</gui> and <gui>↓</gui> buttons to move layouts up and down in
79
<p>You can also set a keyboard shortcut to quickly switch between your selected
80
keyboard layouts. Click <gui>Options</gui>, then locate the option group
81
<gui>Key(s) to change layout</gui>. Select one or more keyboard shortcuts to
82
change layouts. Some of the options only modify the layout while you hold down
83
a key, rather than change the layout when you press the key.</p>
83
be remembered for each window as you switch between windows. Press the
84
<gui style="button">Options</gui> button to select how you want to manage
87
<p>The top bar will display a short identifier for the current layout, such as
88
<gui>en</gui> for the standard English layout. Click the layout indicator and
89
select the layout you want to use from the menu. If the selected language has
90
any extra settings, they will be shown below the list of available layouts.
91
This gives you a quick overview of your settings. You can also open an image
92
with the current keyboard layout for reference.</p>
94
<p>The fastest way to change to another layout is by using the
95
<gui>Input Source</gui> <gui>Keyboard Shortcuts</gui>. These shortcuts open
96
the <gui>Input Source</gui> chooser where you can move forward and backward.
97
By default, you can switch to the next input source with
98
<keyseq><key xref="keyboard-key-super">Super</key><key>Space</key>
99
</keyseq> and to the previous one with <keyseq><key>Shift</key><key>Super</key>
100
<key>Space</key></keyseq>. You can change these shortcuts in the
101
<gui>Keyboard</gui> settings.</p>
