Anyway, it seems I can find no open bug reported against LOS about this. So, whatever your issue is, I doubt it will ever be resolved "automatically" by an OTA.  

Indeed, it was broken long ago, then fixed and later broken again, but you are right the chances of a fix seems slim.

OK. I just think: this sounds like a general regression in AOSP, as keyboard support in Android is generally nothing specific to the Pro1 (hence my question whether this is also observed in the Pro1-X port). I just wonder if it could be worthwhile to open a bug against LineageOS because of this.

I just tested on my Pro1x with LOS.  I think it works there.  That is (just to confirm I know what is being talked about).  I added Dansk (Denmark) to my list of system languages (the main one is US English).  When I go to type in an editor, I am typing in English. and then I hold the yellow arrow and press spacebar and I get a notification that I am now typing in Dansk and I can get that weird ae mashup ;-).  I can use the yellow arrow spacebar as a toggle between the two.

Doesn't work on my Pro1. yellow arrow + spacebar pulls up search.  Don't know why.  My Pro1 is currently Google Free, though I may be changing that.

Thanks for the feedback.

With my Pro1 still on LineageOS 16.0, this works. I can select multiple layouts under "Keyboard & input methods > Physical keyboard" and then cycle through them on the fly. Pretty cool, actually. I didn't know about this feature.

However, on the Pro1 with LOS16, the hotkey for layout switching is Ctrl + Spacebar. Yellow arrow + Spacebar is equivalent to pressing the power button in my case, which is another pretty cool feature introduced by @tdm with his initial port of LOS.

I'm not sure about the timing of when it last worked but think it was under some of the LOS 20 releases. As I remember it, it has been broken for all 22 and 21.

I reported it long back, and it was fixed later, working for a not so long period only to break again, and I gave up a bit....

I guess it is a design issue. Some people love to mess up functioning designs (MS are masters in this mess-up-art....). Back in Android 9 it was check-boxes, and though very practical, it does not look good, and for the majority that only can handle one language, the selecting of the active by a simple touch is nice and looks cleaner. So now it works like radiobuttions, but design-obscured by the use of a check-mark (that for decades in windows has signalled that we can select multiple)

Lineage-22.1-20250215-nightly-pro1-signed.zip on February 5 (2025) security patch, installed smoothly using OTA

[EskeRahn 5,504]

(lineage-22.1-20250215-nightly-pro1-signed.zip on february 5 security patch installed smoothly using adb sideload and MindTheGapps-15.0.0-arm64-20240928_150548)

And we still can only select one keyboard layout, so no easy layout switching, for multilingual usage.
