Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When doing exams in translation faculty, SEB is running in a Windows virtual machine configured with multiple keyboard layouts.
Problem is we have fr-CH, fr-FR, fr-CA for example. Without clicking on the keyboard layout switcher button you can't know which keyboard layout you are using.

Describe the solution you'd like
We would like to have keyboard layout shortname (fr-FR, fr-CH, fr-CA) showing instead of language name (FRA, FRA, FRA, in this case).

Describe alternatives you've considered
Another alternative would be to have both information in the button (without clicking and expanding).
For example : FRA (fr-CH), FRA (fr-FR), FRA (fr-CA).

Let us know if this seem to be possible.

Good suggestion.

Interesting suggestion. And it would be helpful to add support for pressing the Windows key + spacebar to switch keyboard layouts quickly. Since I primarily use an QWERTY layout, it becomes inconvenient to manually change the keyboard layout for French exams. @dbuechel, what do you think about this idea?

Thanks for the input, we shall take this up in our internal planning and try to implement the enhancement for an upcoming version. The WIN+SPACE keyboard shortcut will most likely not be possible (or not as easily), as we block the WIN keys by default.
