Description Yanis Mukhametshin 2025-03-05 13:54:20 UTC 
SUMMARY
I have 3 keyboard layouts: US, RU, UA, and mostly use US and RU, and rarely switching to UA
I want to use "Switch to Last-Used Keyboard Layout" accell to switch between US and RU, but I cant:
On newly created windows, where actual layout switching hasn't been yet, there is no "last" layout to switch to, and the accell just doesn't work.

I propose to set the "last" layout to the second layout in global list by default, so in case of my setup, default layout is US, and the "last" layout will be set to RU by default.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Setup 2+ keyboard layouts
2. Setup "Switch to Last-Used Keyboard Layout" accell
3. Open new application window with text input
4. Type something to confirm default layout
5. Use the "Switch to Last-Used Keyboard Layout" accell
6. Type something again

OBSERVED RESULT
Keyboard layout hasn't changed and still default

EXPECTED RESULT
Keyboard layout has changed
