## Switching Between Keyboards
|
|
To switch keyboards, follow these steps:
|
|
|
|
Step 1)
|
|
With the keyboard visible, press and release the globe key:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Keyboard Type | # Keyman Keyboards | Short press and release to |
|
|
|---------------|:------------------:|----------------------------|
|
|
| In-app | 1 | Display keyboard picker menu |
|
|
| In-app | 2+ | Quickly switch to next Keyman keyboard |
|
|
| System | 1 | Quickly switch to previous system keyboard |
|
|
| System | 2+ | Quickly switch to next Keyman keyboard |
|
|
|
|
A long press on the globe key 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 lists **Other Input Methods** that are enabled at the bottom of
|
|
the keyboard picker menu. Selecting any of those keyboards close Keyman and switch to the selected system keyboard.
