I've made this ase a separate menu with nice keyboard icon on it and
two items there:

setxkbmap us
setxkbmap cz_qwerty

And how much time it took...  Then I've found that in the second
driver, there is implanted switching to US keyboard by pressing
"Scroll lock" so this menu is now useless for me... But maybe it can
help you and it is still faster than writing it to term... And in the
beginning, i could not remember something like "setxkbmap"... :-)))

You also can use some keybingins for that - as some others wrote - I
made the menu when I was trying to solve this problem, maybe I'm too
spoilt from using Windoze for such a long time. :o)
