Feature request: Add action for switching to *specific* keyboard #1886

Use Cases

Since Android's autofill service sometimes doesn't detect that there's a password field to input to (I imagine due to some apps just not handling this properly), I sometimes have to switch to my password manager's dedicated keyboard instead. While switching to another keyboard through Android's native UI is better than it used to be, due to a button for changing the input method on the navigation bar, it still requires two taps, with the second tap requiring me to parse the list of keyboards to select the right one.

Other use cases include any other reason one might have for switching between keyboards quickly. Personally, I also switch to Hacker Keyboard sometimes.

Proposal

It would be cool if I could configure a "Switch to My Password Manager Keyboard" action and then bind that action to the action key or the pinned action. Based on the fact that FUTO Keyboard does provide a custom UI for switching to a different keyboard, I assume that a more specific "Switch to specific keyboard" action should be possible to implement as well.
