I'm using Kindle KT2. Kterm does an awsome job on my kindle. However it is impossible to type Chinese. Actually, you can't type any other languages easily except for English. As a result, using the original keyboard is a good choice. So a new button might be added to hide the built-in keyboard and show the original one. I think it's the best solution.

Thanks for the suggestion! I don't think I will have time soon to implement such feature. It is not needed for basic terminal usage, as most commands don't require characters outside ascii range. Also, for most languages you should be able to customize keyboard layout and use different scripts. The problem only relates to scripts that require compound input methods, like Chinese.

Tks. I'm looking forward to the new feature.
