Bug Description

Particularly when using telegram (where I use the emojis layout), I usually alternate between more than two keyboard layouts (3 languages + emojis). Switching between two has been made easy, but I haven't found a way to easily cycle between them all. Could we have a way to do it, so I don't need to long press the keyboard layout switcher all the time?

Proposal:
single tap: cycle between the last 2 layouts
double tap: cycle through all the layouts.

The android way works for me: the first tap toggles between the last two. If you tap twice "quickly", the layouts start to cycle.

summary: - switching between more than two keyboard layouts takes loads of time
+ with more than 2 keyboard layouts, add double tap to cycle through
+ layouts
