Research direction
The payload names no files or entry points, so start by locating how the keyboard handles the space key and by checking Android's input method picker API. Confirm with the maintainers whether the switch should be a long-press on space and how it should list installed keyboards. Done means long-pressing space shows the installed keyboards and selecting one switches to it.

Feature description
Provide a way to quickly change to another installed keyboard app rather than requiring the user to make the change at the Android settings level.
Google Gboard and FUTO Keyboard have this capability when holding the spacebar. I'm not sure if this is the best way to implement it or not.
Why do you want this feature?
This feature would improve usability by allowing users to switch to other keyboards when needed, as each keyboard has its own strengths and weaknesses. This is especially useful given that Fossify Keyboard is still in early development.
