Windows 7 and previous versions gives the ability to add additional keyas validboard selections to be available when selected. The command logo is located on the bottom right of the bottom command bar. I have tried several times to type emails in my Yahoo Mail program while in Firefox, and though the selection shows on the bottom bar, the keyboard is still in English. I do not wish to change the operating language. I just want to have the availability when needed.

Easiest to switch the keyboard layout is to assign a specific shortcut key to each layout (e.g. Shift+Ctrl+9)
