Russian layout (small)

Hi. Firstly, this is one of the best keyboards I've been using, thnx a lot :)

I'm using english + russian (small) layouts, and this layout needs some tweaking.

First. "Ь" symbol has 2 alt symbols - "Ъ" as primary and "?" as secondary. So, when I have to use "?" - I have to press-hold a button and then slide it to left. "?" symbol is used very often and currient layout isnt perfect. You can GREATLY improve it if you move "?" symbol as alt symbol to the "Э" button (it has empty alt symbol atm). And leave symbol "Ъ" as alt symbol for "Ь" button. Here is little pic of what I mean:

Second. This layout has 2 "," symbols - one to the left from the space as primary symbol, and second to the right from the space as alt symbol. Please change LEFT button from the space to open voice search, same as it is done with english layout. Here is what I mean:

And the last thing... Smiley key. It doesnt work correctly when "auto" is used - it just doesnt appear. When is used "always on" - there is no "enter" key. Maybe you could change "enter" key to have alt option that will popup smiley menu? Not just for russian layout, but for all layouts.

Thats all... Once again, thanks for your great job! :)

Hello

1) actually I noticed the ? ь problem 3 hours ago ;) so I fixed it by inverting ? and ъ
But your solution is probably better so I will do this

2) this was a mistake already fixed in the future version

3) "auto" only works with the stock Android SMS app, so it may never work on some phones. But what you suggest (popup with long press on enter key) already exists, and for all layouts !!
