| RazarTuk | I recently moved from iOS to Android, and noticed a feature missing on Android. On iOS, there was an option to send control back to the system keyboard, but there isn't on Android. This wouldn't normally be an issue, since the EuroLatin2 keyboard is more extensive than the system keyboard. But I'm also learning Japanese, which isn't supported in Keyman, so I need to switch back to Android for that. (And on a less serious note, I'm also fond of Bitmoji and similarly can't switch to that keyboard without deactivating Keyman) |

| Marc Durdin Tavultesoft Staff | From what I understand of how Android keyboards work, you can only select one system at a time, unlike iOS, where each keyboard is in a global list. Thus, you have to switch the keyboard system, which can be done from the Quick Settings on most phones.
However, I am not 100% sure if this is the only solution! |
