    Hi Hina,

    You did the right thing to contact support and report it, it should still work as it was working before and the more reporting the higher attention it will get.

    The way I would like to use the "Keys" method is the same as user would use the keyboard, and for the user to type * user would use Shift+8 key combination, and to simulate that try out !8, I would think it should also work as a work around.
