Thank you very much for opening up this issue! I am currently a bit overwhelmed by the many requests that arrive each week, so please forgive me, if I fail to respond personally. I am still very likely to at least skim read your request and I'll probably try to fix all (real) bugs if possible and I will likely review every single PR being made (please, give me a heads up if you intent to do so) and I will try to work on popular requests (please upvote via thumbs up on the original issue) whenever possible, but trying to respond to every single issue over the last years has been kind of draining and I need to adjust my approach for this project to remain fun for me and to make any progress with actually coding new stuff. Thanks for your understanding!

Hey there! Thanks for reporting! Probably an easy fix for someone who is well versed in android development, which I am unfortunately not. PRs are definitely welcome! :)

The only sort of "easy" workaround I found while working with apps that expose the issue:

1. press cmd+N to open up notification shade

2. press ctrl+space to change the language (you may notice little popup behind the blur as language changed)

3. touch the screen to get back to the app to contunue editing with language switched to

Found an actual solution. Now I can change lang at every app!!

Download from Google Store the "External Keyboard Helper Pro". It costs 1.49$.

• Select it as your current keyboard from Languages & Input menu.

• Reboot your device.

• Go to Languages & Input again.

• Open "Manage keyboards" and choose "External Keyboard Helper Pro" to open
  setup.

• Go to "Advanced settings" / "Languages switching".

• Click on the "Language-switch key

• Uncheck the "Disabled"

• Choose Swift or Alt checkbox.

• and finally use "Scancode" to choose your preferable key combination and click
  "SAVE" / I choose spacebar.

NOTE: This is a general problem and Xiaomi is aware of that.

Yes, this is relevant! Language changing inside apps just doesn't seem to work in Xiaomi Pad 6.
The cmd+N shortcut is better than nothing for now.
