Keyboard applet settings

SUMMARY
When setting a spare keyboard layout in Keyboard settings (to avoid cycling through infrequently used layouts when using the keyboard shortcut), clicking and selecting the desired language layout (any layout on the menu) it doesn't happen. It happened somewhere a few upgrades back (I can't tell when, I haven't tried switching to a spare layout in some time). The keyboard shortcut cycles through all layouts normally if "spare layouts" is unchecked.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Previously set spare layout in applet settings
2. Try switching to spare (or any other) layout by clicking on the applet and selecting the language
3. Nothing happens


OBSERVED RESULT
No keyboard layout switch

EXPECTED RESULT
Language layout should be switched

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux: 5.13.12-arch1-1 amd64

Thanks for reporting, this is a known problem not actually related with spare layouts.
We introduced regression with this workaround MR:
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/merge_requests/513
After that, the keyboard layout applet's context menu doesn't reacts on items clicks any more.

Unfortunately, it's not known yet how to solve this, as reverting the workaround is not an option probably.

[keyboardlayout applet] fix non-working context menu

After refactoring, keyboardLayout plugin is not accessible any more from
root Item object, so we pass the needed info from Action via signal.
