Thanks for the notice. I've noticed this bug yesterday but I'm not sure 
if this is the same problem. If you can test 2.0 release, would you 
please try pressing "d" key after enabling the "ir" layout to see if it 
prints any characters? (This key is defined using unicode hex characters 
rather than corresponding character name. But notice that this has been 
changed in git yesterday, so git source will work. But in 2.0, it is 
defined using character's unicode hex code).

Thanks,
Hedayat
