The user already needs to remember the sequence of configured keyboard layouts
to be able to cycle them without looking at the indicator of the current layout.
The problem that makes such cycling annoying is that when the user forgets
what is the current layout, cycling selects a wrong layout. Using a number
to select the layout avoids such a problem.
