## Switching Between Keyboards
To switch keyboards, follow these steps:
Step 1)
With the keyboard visible, touch the globe key:

This will bring up a list of all currently installed languages (the default is **English EuroLatin (SIL)**).
If you have already downloaded additional languages, they will appear here.
Simply select them and the keyboard will re-appear with the new language.
## Hotkey
To switch between languages while using an external keyboard (i.e. a bluetooth keyboard), a quick and easy way is to
use a hotkey combination. Press and hold <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> and then press <kbd>Tab</kbd>.
You should then see the same listing of languages/keyboards. Tap on any available language of your choice.
### Alternate Step for System Keyboard
The Keyman system keyboard has an additional **CLOSE KEYMAN** button at the bottom left of
the "Keyboards" menu. Pushing this button will close Keyman and switch to the next non-Keyman system keyboard.
