I'd love to have one in order to switch between Canadian Multilingual, American English, math and symbolic logic.

  Symbolic logic makes sense, but most keyboard users can touch type in their own locale.

    Some people know several languages, but it's difficult to learn a locale well enough to 100% touch type when you only have a keyboard in a single locale, and don't use some of the languages as often as others. Also, per-software layers with action icons instead of learning alphabetic shortcuts.

      It's also difficult to know all alternate layouts by heart e.g. Apple's US International has 4 different layout (shifted, alted and alt-shifted), and while being able to type "˚" directly can be convenient I literally never remember it's alt-k, so I hunt through basically all the alt-ed layout until I find it.

    I still hunt and peck for accents necessary for Quebecois.
