- Allows you to control which characters should be treated as combining characters.

It won't fix your Bluetooth or USB connected keyboard if it wasn't working in the first place.
It does not automatically switch Input Method. It only shows the dialog and you will have to choose Input Method manually. This is an intentional limitation built into Android by Google. No app is allowed to change Input Method without user interaction (unless the app is a system app).

- Always remap now also maps Backspace, Return, Space, Arrow keys and more. This fixes the problem with the recent Chrome versions on my Galaxy S3 and hopefully also on other Samsung devices that are affected by the same problem.
