It takes more than 20 seconds to install a keyboard layout switcher on an unfamiliar Linux distribution, or, for that matter, on a poorly-set up Windows installation. Also, if you just need to type for a few minutes on someone else's machine to help out briefly, it's rude to install or switch a fundamental setting like that. "Can you help me out with this..?" "Sure, let me first install my custom keyboard layout on your box."

If you're typing for a only few minutes then type QWERTY looking at the keys.

Once you switch, your fingers should still retain some of the muscle memory. Mine have, though I can't type as quickly.
