Research direction

The payload names no files, so begin by searching the Kotlin Android repository for the existing input-method and keyboard-switching code. Confirm with a maintainer where the new button should live and how the previously used keyboard should be recorded. Done means a control that switches back to the last used keyboard, verified on a device with a second input method installed.

Feature description

So I got in my hands an open source keyboard that works very well using voice. Your keyboard is still essential, as sometimes we still need to use it to make minor edits. For this reason, voice keyboards have a button that allows you to go to the last used keyboard, which is usually yours. And it'd be great that your keyboard had a button to go directly to the last used keyboard, which is going to be usually the voice keyboard. This will allow going back and forth between two keyboards and make the experience more smooth.

Thank you for this great app.

Why do you want this feature?

The point is to make transitions between the two keyboards more smoothly, as they both are really needed.
