Keymappers for Marshmallow Custom Roms

So I've been using Tincore Keymapper but to be honest, it never really got a proper Marshmallow compatibility update, and hasn't had any love since Oct 2015. Being on a Marshmallow custom rom, I have to use Tasker to fiddle various settings on the fly to get round Tincore's hiccups with Marshmallow's increased security. For example, when my gamepad is connected, Tasker launches Tincore and turns on the Accessibility option for Tincore. Then if I enter any game where I'm actually going to use the gamepad, Tasker switches the default keyboard to the Tincore IME. Without this, I can't map key presses to buttons on the gamepad (mapping "back" to the start button is quite useful). Then if a non-game takes focus, Tasker switches the default back to my normal keyboard.

So Tasker is certainly picking up the slack (love Tasker) so these hiccups aren't a bother but it shouldn't have to. My question is, are there any viable alternative keymappers out there which play nice with Marshmallow or has anyone found ways to make Tincore behave better within Marshmallow. Would love to hear.

Also, I've heard there are apparently intents for Tincore. But can't find anything documented anywhere. If anyone knows anything about those, I would love to know.
