to define a key or key combination that cycles through each layout. For
example, to use Alt-Shift to move through the defined layouts, you would
enter the line Option "XkbOptions" "grp:Alt_shift_toggle".<br><a href="https://www.linux.com/news/software/applications/8201-editing-basics-for-the-xorgconf-file">https://www.linux.com/news/software/applications/8201-editing-basics-for-the-xorgconf-file</a><br>
