[Feature Request] Add keybinding to switch between active layout

[arylix]

Describe the feature you'd like
Thank you for the great extension! It would be nice to have a keybinding to select the active layout by cycling through all available layouts. This can currently only be done by clicking on the tray icon and selecting the layout that should be active.

Hey! Thank you for your suggestion! With this extension my focus is on extending default behavior of GNOME Shell or implement loved features from other OSs. Your idea would be something new, what would be a good default keybinding to select the active layout in your opinion? Of course allowing to customize it from the preferences.

Would SUPER + CTRL + Arrow Left / Arrow Right be a good option?

I suggested this in #36 as well 😉.

I think it's a great idea to accompany the other keyboard shortcuts which are working great.

I'm not sure what shortcut but something without conflicts would be good. Super + n, super + b?

Away from the computer so not sure if that conflicts.

Edit: if Super + alt is used to span tiles then super + ctrl for this makes sense!

I would also like this feature.

Perhaps in addition to a keyboard shortcut, would it also be possible to use the scrollwheel while holding a window + CTRL ? So you effectively scroll through the configured layouts.

Thank you guys for your feedback! A quick update for you. I'm going to publish a new update this week and then I'm going to start to work on this 🥳

Just a little mockup for you, feel free to share your thoughts! This feature will behave similarly to ALT+TAB: when the keyboard shortcut is pressed, the layouts are shown and you can cycle through them to select the layout:

I'm still not sure which default shortcut to choose, but it will be customizable.

This is exactly how I wanted it to be!
