Brand new version of GameKeyboard. This version supports new "Standalone" mode on rooted devices, which skips the need of switching soft keyboard. Users with an unrooted device can still use the original "Soft Keyboard" mode. Remind that some of the features are root-only, please refer to the features list for details.
