This problem get harder in my case, with English and Persian layouts. If I was using Persian layout and left my computer, I would lose all of my unsaved work; because there's no way to enter English letters through Persian layout.

Now, 1. I switched it to Dvorak and made Dvorak default and the QWERTY secondary. 2. Now I start learning Dvorak 3. Now I go away from computer for tea 4. When I come back the computer is locked due to auto lock setting 5. Now I can not type password using QWERTY because default layout set to Dvorak as said in #1 6. I am locked out since yet I have not learned the Dvorak layout So it will be great to provide keyboard layout button to change the layout using mouse on the lock screen as that of the login screen. Thank you.
