'Keyboard.Key' now contains an array of size 9, giving each keyvalue an
index. The algorithm for finding the nearest key during a swipe now
needs 16 segments, which are now calculated as an angle.
The algorithm does one more interation instead of 2 more, slightly
reducing the sensitivity of corner values. The 'getAtDirection' function
is moved into the Pointers class to clearly separate the two systems.
The 'edgekey' attribute is now obsolete but is kept for compatibility.
The flag is removed internally, key index are simply translated.
Similarly, the 'slider' attribute now act on keys at index 5 and 6
instead of 2 and 3.
The key enable caps lock immediately. It does nothing if caps lock is
already enabled.
It is not present on the keyboard by default but a place is defined on
every layout, top-right of the shift key. It can be enabled in the
settings.
The icon is from materialdesignicons.com.
The '0' has been moved because it was hard to type due to being close to
the edge of the screen.
This is fixed in a more elegant way in a27c644, there's no reason to
keep the '0' in an inconsistent place anymore.
Each layouts can chose which key are localized instead of specifying it
globally for each key.
Important keys are no longer removed from layouts if the 'extra_keys'
mechanism is not working properly. This can happen if language tags
specified in method.xml don't match the user's language.
Removed some currency symbols from some layouts. They are all in the Fn
layer.
Requires two new diacritics: ogonek and dot_above.
The new accents are also added to the Latvian layout as the two language
can be close but not to the other localized layouts. A new mechanism is
needed to reproducibly add extra keys to layouts without manual
placement.
These keys are harder to hit as the finger might exit the screen before
traveling enough to hit a corner. It might be particularly harder for
people that use a phone case.
Every layouts are changed, the notable changes are:
- The Escape key is in the bottom-right corner of the first key.
This position looks weird at first but is a lot easier to type.
- The 0 key is on the top-left of the last key on the first row.
It is not like the other digits.
- The Tab key is on the top-right. This might be hard to re-learn.
- Some layouts had more changes to accomodate these new positions.

Show these characters only for users that have the corresponding locale
installed (a supported eu language for €, en-GB for £).
Add these characters to most layouts.
Add a new boolean parameter "edgekeys" for defining keys that have the
additional (swipe) keys on the edges (top, right, left, bottom) instead
of at the corners (top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right).
Currently using the diamond symbol like the history meta key: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta_key
However, this key is actually interpreted as the Super/Windows key but
Android calls it "meta" internally.
It is placed on the top-right of the enter key on every layouts.
It sends a special event (performEditorAction) instead of writing a
newline.
The "actionId" is passed through the EditorInfo object in an obfuscated
way so it's not clear whether it's using the right one.
Remove the "emoji" and "conf" action from the enter key. Move the former
to the "arrows" key and the latter to "p".
Slightly increase the size of the keys around the spacebar, and decrease
the spacebar size.
