tonosWhat it does NOT
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).
