Let me give an example to explain what I mean: I would hope that switching keyboard layouts would work the same as switching between windows of open applications with Alt-Tab. That is, open a web browser, then open a text editor, then open a file explorer. I expect that when I press Alt-Tab, it switches from the file explorer to the text editor, and if I then press Alt-Tab again, it switches back to the file explorer. This isn't exactly cycling - instead it's switching between the two most recently used options (keyboard layouts/application windows). Is there a way to make keyboard layout switching work the same way?
