On the fly keyboard switching is vital if you are using non-Roman script languages interspersed with a Roman Script language. Suppose someone wants to type an Arabic document that is right-to-left and needs to type in an English word, it is absolutely essential to be able to change the keyboard, type in the word or phrase and then change it back. Since they do not share any characters, a single keystroke (like alt-shift) to change the keyboard really opens the door to type in a variety of languages with different scripts.
