To fix that, perhaps replace the globe button with a keyboard-settings button to select a few layouts/alphabets and other options, such as perhaps keyboard height, long-press duration, etc. And to switch between the layouts perhaps slide/swipe/long-press on the spacebar.

In my experience it works in practice too, such as in Kobo's interface. Even unoptimised implementations in Android-based eink devices pose no problems.

Anyway, back to my question: How can I add Greek to Latin and Cyrillic alphabets in the keyboard? Do I need to remove e.g. Cyrillic?
