How to switch layouts in Ubuntu with displaying the current one in the center of the screen?

Question

ubuntu

Tell me how to make it so that when switching the keyboard layout, not only the indicator changes, but also the process is displayed in the center of the screen.

Answer 4

The Scroll-Lock indicator on the keyboard doesn't roll anymore? And in general, you can configure the "switches" of the layouts. It takes a little getting used to and just turn on the desired layout before typing.
