Hi @francozzy!

Try the redraw method - demo

$(function() {
  var $kb = $("#keyboard");

  $kb.keyboard({
    layout: "qwerty",
    // if true, the keyboard will always be visible
    alwaysOpen: true
  });

  $("select").change(function(event) {
    var val = event.target.value;
    var kb = $kb.getkeyboard();
    kb.options.layout = val;
    kb.redraw();
  });
});

Ha!

I forgot I shortened it:

$("select").change(function(event) {
  var val = event.target.value;
  $kb.getkeyboard().redraw(val);
});

Add as many as you want.

But be aware that you can only create one custom layout. In that case, you would need to add your named layouts into the jQuery.keyboard.layouts, then use those same names in the select value.
