Description

When I'm in a window that requires password entry but does not support Android's Autofill service, I switch to the KeePass keyboard input method, then tap the button on the keyboard to jump to the KeePass app and search. Sometimes the app isn't recorded accurately and can't be matched, so I need to manually enter the record name to search. At that point, the KeePass input method is in English, but my record names are in Simplified Chinese. To solve this issue, I hope a Simplified Chinese keyboard can be added to the KeePass2Android keyboard.

Research direction

Start by locating the KeePass2Android keyboard input method and the search-entry UI used after jumping to the KeePass app. Check how the current English keyboard is defined and how its input is passed to record search. Done means users can enter Simplified Chinese record names through the KeePass keyboard and use them for matching.
