Under advanced you can enable swipe to change language. Then you can swipe up from space to cycle through your languages. I find it quick enough. No idea about gifs but holding return you can insert emojis.
True, i kinda only ordered it to support mobile Linux development, however, by now I think there would have been much better places to do this than this company.
