A key combination for the OS and layout manager (or a mouse click into the floating tooltip for languages). E.g. Windows has Alt+Shift or Ctrl+Shift by default, and for people who joggle many more languages, some can be assigned special key shortcuts to enable quickly. For Solaris it's by default Ctrl+Space IIRC.
