why no change keyboard (gear) symbol?

[johnner1999]

Is it an HTC thing with the evo or is a 2.1 thing?

But it was an easy way to switch keyboards.

Doesn't the HTC Keyboard have the gears symbol?
I know the normal Android keyboard doesn't.

The only way I know of switching keyboards is through long pressing --> input method--> keyboard.
Most keyboards though... don't have the gears symbol.
I think HTC IME did when I used it.
