I agree. Thanks, Alexey. We need to expose the UI for this in System Settings as it is described in the spec [1], but the feature you're talking about needs to be implemented in Mir.

Tried possible "default" combinations like: Alt+Shift, Ctrl+Shift, Ctrl+Space, without luck. With the help of PaulfraaOSAA on #ubuntu-touch figured out how it is possible too switch (workaround): One keeps settings with external keyboard layouts open. When one needs to switch layout of external keyboard, [s]he "just" - switches to layout settings window - moves needed layout to top of the list - switches back to application window and continues typing... This is... Well... Very very far from usable, especially for non-latin alphabet based languages, like Russian. Please introduce possibility to configure layout switcher and use keyboard to switch layouts.
