You can use the Keyman COM API in Keyman Desktop to control Tavultesoft Keyman from most macro languages. An example is presented for Microsoft Word's Visual Basic for Applications.

To create these macros, you will need to do the following:

You could assign hotkeys or toolbar buttons to these routines. See the following links for more details:

The macros are presented below:

Sub SwitchEuropeanLatinOn()
    Selection.Font.Name = "Gentium"
    Dim t As TavultesoftKeyman
    Set t = New TavultesoftKeyman
    t.Control.ActiveKeyboard = t.Keyboards("european")
        ' Use the filename of the keyboard here (without the '.kmx' extension)
        ' You can findout the filename of the keyboard by viewing its details
        ' in Keyman Desktop Configuration
End Sub

Sub SwitchKeymanOff()
    Selection.Font.Name = "Arial"
    Dim t As TavultesoftKeyman
    Set t = New TavultesoftKeyman
    t.Control.ActiveKeyboard = Nothing
End Sub

You can create a macro that toggles the Keyman keyboard and font as follows:

Sub ToggleKeyboard_Greek()
     Dim t As TavultesoftKeyman, k As IKeymanKeyboard
     Set t = New TavultesoftKeyman
     Set k = t.Control.ActiveKeyboard
              
     If k Is Nothing Then
        v = 1
     ElseIf k.Name <> "GalaxieGreekKM6" Then   ' Change this to your desired keyboard name
        v = 1
     Else
        v = 0
     End If
         
     If v = 1 Then
          Selection.Font.Name = "Galaxie Unicode Greek"   ' Change this to your desired font name
          t.Control.ActiveKeyboard = t.Keyboards("GalaxieGreekKM6")  ' Change this to your desired keyboard name
     Else
          Selection.Font.Name = "Times New Roman"   ' Change this to your desired default font name
          t.Control.ActiveKeyboard = Nothing
     End If
End Sub
