Separate button to change layout

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Try to change layout with single button instead of "sliding space". This 
sliding space is absolutely stupid solution.  SEPARATE SINGLE BUTTON MANDATORY 
NEEDED TO CHANGE LAYOUT.
2.
3.

>What is the expected behavior? What do you see instead?

Expected separate button to change layout.  
Just only Sliding Space found instead.

>What version of Hacker's Keyboard are you using? (See "Debug" section at
the bottom of the app's Settings menu.)

1.33

>On what phone or tablet?

Huawei MediaPad 3G

>If applicable, does this affect the 4-row or 5-row layout, or both? Which
language(s)?

Both. English, Russian.

>Please provide any additional information below.

In addition vibrating signal needed on each keyboard tap. And button "hide 
keyboard" needed too.

FYI, insulting the developer of a free application isn't exactly good 
motivation to work on feature requests. Please take a deep breath and calm down.

You can already bind actions to the volume keys if you don't like gestures, for 
example you can map "volume up" to switching the language and "volume down" to 
closing the keyboard.

Vibration is configurable in settings, but this depends on hardware support in 
your device. Some don't have vibration hardware at all (most tablets don't), 
and some have nonstandard ways to access it.

There's no need for a "hide keyboard" button on normal Android devices since 
the "back" button does this already. I added the gesture/volume key binding to 
help support nonstandard devices such as the Kindle Fire or Nook Color, but I'm 
not going to add a button to the standard layouts that'll be redundant on most 
devices.

Volume button is not good solution too.  Best would be tap or click to LCtrl or 
RCtrl without other key. This will have dual effect: not only switch layout by 
one tap but support of external usb or bluetooth keyboard. Now if I need 
extetnal keyboard then I have to switch to another virtual keyboard with single 
Ctrl layout switch. And when I disconnect hardware keyboard I have to switch 
virtual keyboard to HK back. Very unuseful. Volume key in this case slows down 
my speed - I enter about 160 cps on external keyboard on two languages. And 
last 25 years I always used RCtrl to switch layout - ever.
