Just rename this KbdMaps-1.0.apk

Thank you very much. Just a question: Right ctrl+shift acts as RTL, and LEFT ctrl+shift as LTR in this keyboard, right? I'm asking because I renamed and installed it, but when I click on Right ctrl+shift, nothing happens, and when I press LEFT crtl=shift, the input method changes (without any change in alignment).

Thanks again

When I hit Ctrl-Shift-ArrowRight it generates U+200E, Left-to-Right Mark, i.e. going towards the right, i.e. normal (for me, an English speaker).
When I hit Ctrl-Shift-ArrowLeft it generates U+200F, Right-to-Left Mark, i.e. going towards the left.
You can check that the correct codes are being generated using my UsbMode.apk
How an edit box or a text editor is supposed to react, I don't know.
I can see that when I use my plain text editor those two control codes are in there.
Maybe the Ctrl-Shift-ArrowLeft toggles on/off RTL mode?

Many thanks for your reply. The last question: You mean when you hit Ctrl-Shift-ArrowRight the text goes to the left end of the line and when you hit Ctrl-Shift-ArrowLeft, it goes to the right end of the line? I just want to make sure that I can accurately understand your sense.

The sense I was thinking of is that the arrow is the direction of the travel of the text, not the alignment of the text (which could be the other direction).
If you have mixed LTR/RTL there will be only one alignment.

As I said, I don't understand anything about LTR/RTL.
You've got two keys which generate the marks.
If anything handles that correctly is another question.
You'll have to look somewhere else on guidance for usage.
