Bug Description

Currently, although you can select under "Change Keyboard" -> "Ctrl" -> (a selection of ctrl+keys), I'd like to be able to toggle on ctrl or alt or super. There doesn't seem to be a way to do this (similar to how ConnectBot on Android works).

This means that if the app you're working with has an unusual mode-change-combination, it's very hard to get to it.

I would expect to see this in the same place though, so currently you have "SCR", "FCN", "CTL", and "CMD". I'd find it useful to have "TGL" (or similar?) which would then bring up some toggle keys, alternatively, like the cog and tabs buttons, perhaps there could be something there?

I'm guessing though the "SCR", "FCN", etc. are actually where you're overloading the keyboard dictionary functions, so it might be quite tough to add that modifier in there? Anyway... feature request, make it happen ;)
