Had a thought… it occurred to me while looking at a mobile keyboard where the language name was on the spacebar, that users may have developed a mental association between the two (I have). Given this association, wouldn’t it be natural to use the spacebar to change language?
Perhaps by a longpress of the spacebar, a downward flick (when available), or maybe with a 2 finger press? I wouldn’t mind if the 
icon was even on the spacebar (maybe as a hint). Would this approach be acceptable to allowing keyboards to forego the extra key?
thanks,
