TC4A and Blackberry QNX+Android input language switch issue

Last year, we discussed by email a possible solution for an issue that exists on BlackBerry devices with QNX+Android (at least on ones with hardware keyboard, like Q10): in Android apps like TC it's only possible to change input language using a BlackBerry dialog called by Alt+Enter hotkey, and that hotkey only works in multiline input fields (like "Parameters" field of button configuration dialog, or in TC Editor.)
We didn't find a good solution then, but now I'd like to suggest a new possible solutions:
1) is it possible to have a very small form with very small multiline input (so it's possible to put cursor there) on top of all TC windows and popups? It will be possible to use that always-on-top form to change input language for any active TC window, including file panels (for QuickSearch);
2) if not, how about adding a very small multiline input control to each form with text input fields but without at least one multi line?
3) or maybe it's possible to change just one single line control to multi line in each window or dialog (to avoid replacing all existing single line controls)?
Of course, for 1) and 2), there is no need for such on-top form or controls with small multiline on normal Android devices, so it may be disabled by default (at least on not-BlackBerry devices).

Alternative solutions to make it possible to change input language in Android applications on Blackberry QNX devices in single line input fields are welcome here.
