Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe
While testing NVDA or its add-ons, e.g. triaging issues and trying to reproduce, I need to switch keyboard layout to use the same as the one used by the op that has reported the issue. I need to open keyboard settings, change the layout and validate. I'd like to have a command to toggle keyboard layout still faster.
Note: Such command may also be of use for someone using both an external keyboard with numpad and an integrated laptop keyboard without any numpad. Though, even for people in such a situation, I am not sure that they switch keyboard layout in real life. It seem to me that each user has their preferred layout and sticks to it, no matter if they use a keyboard with or without a numpad.
Describe the solution you'd like
Implement an unassigned command to toggle keyboard layout in config.
I expect this command to be used only in specific cases, so it does not requires a default gesture to be assigned.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Additional context
Waiting for NV Access triaging or closing this issue to know if I should implement this in NVDA or in an add-on.
