Voting for fast changing between keyboards if only two keyboards available. No need to show popup.

I think the best way of switching keyboard is to toggle between last recent used so it can be done for more than 2 languages, while do showing menu in case you want other option, it's how it works on blackberry 10 and really comfortable. E.g.: you have 3 langs Y,X,Z. If switched from X to Z and long press again, it would switch back to X and bring pop up with choices, do if you need Y you choose it and in case you don't - just let the hold and pop up will disappear.

Agreed, I suppose not many people need more than two keyboard layouts directly available all the time. This would be very useful e.g. when switching between normal and emoji keyboard.
