Hi

Was wondering if this is by design or bug where the kde (latest kde, arch linux) dosent have a keyboard layout switch option?

when the layout is set to non english (the password default) and the lock screen comes into action i cant switch back to english and thus cant relogin

best

Both the Plasma lock screen and the KDE SDDM Breeze greeter will show the options, if there are options, at the lower left corner:

Is the keyboard layout options set in the KDE System Settings > Input Devices > Keyboard (Layouts) ?
Does the plasma show the layout indicator in the plasma panel ?

SDDM:
