Hm, tried it, but it doesn't seem to work that way on the AOSP keyboard (LineageOS/Android9 here). Either hits '.' or the language change button, or I get the "select keyboard layout" pop up due to a long press on space.

Will check out OpenBoard, because this sounds like a great feature.

On lineageos there's an option somewhere in the system settings to make the volume buttons move the cursor when the keyboard is open.
Thanks for the pointer, though I already know about it. But then I can't change the volume when in a text input field - with headphones and very dynamic music I found this to be an issue.

Oops I accidentally submitted that, when trying out the keyboard features (i copied some random text and started soft kbd space sweeping to move the cursor. Didn't notice i apparently submitted the text too)
