switch between layouts

[OrionRandD]

It is not really an issue.
But, a PR. Since I am not very familiar with PRs, I had a chat with Xah in his discord channel and asked for him, if possible, to implement a function in xah-fly-keys to change the keyboard layouts on the fly to write documents in emacs in multiple languages. e.g. I need 5 keyboard layouts to write some documents:

1. qwerty-abnt - which should really be qwerty-abnt2 (the default in Brazil) - the layout is right in xah-fly-keys, but the name is wrong.
2. qwerty-es (Spain)
3. qwerty-el (Greek)
4. qwerry-hr (Hebrew)
5. qwerty-us --variant intl

I have this setup in my init.el for two languages. I know that xah-fly-keys does not support all the above layouts... sigh! But, even setting emacs for xah-fly-keys to use 2 layouts, I have to comment/uncomment these lines in my init.el and eval one of them to use one or another

(xah-fly-keys-set-layout "qwerty-abnt") ; required
;; (xah-fly-keys-set-layout "qwerty") ; required

So, it is kind of painful...

perhaps this will solve the problem?

(defun my-toggle-layout ()
"switch between qwerty-abnt and qwerty.
Version 2019-11-20"
(interactive)
(if (string-equal xah-fly-key--current-layout "qwerty")
(setq xah-fly-key--current-layout "qwerty-abnt")
(setq xah-fly-key--current-layout "qwerty")))

@xahlee Thx a lot for the function. I will test it here.
Also. I found out that I can change to many keyboards layouts through Stumpwm, so that emacs respects them when I change them through a combo that I have set up here.
Anyways,
Thx a lot for your time and attention
I will keep visiting your blog. Many thing there to learn...
:)

@xahlee
I have written an anki file and a pdf for your keybinding. I think it is a way of giving back a little knowledge as well.
Instructions are in the how-to.
If you want to link it to your website, feel free...
Thx again
