With "Shrink to Button" on, the dismiss key shrinks the window to just
itself: a see-through button that can be dragged anywhere. Tapping it
grows the keyboard back around it, kept on screen. KWin moves and
resizes the window through a one-off script, as Wayland clients can't
place themselves.
Also moves the window back on screen whenever it appears (KWin remembers
where the button was), and releases the mouse after a window manager
move or resize, which used to eat the next press on the grab bar.

Beside the gear: full keyboard, hold keys, and the numeric keypad,
navigation and function key sections, each behind a drawn icon and lit
while on. Section toggles hide when the layout lacks the section. The
grab pill narrows when a small window leaves it less room.

The initial visibility was applied before the window listened for it, so
with "Always Show" on the controller thought it was shown while no window
existed, and neither field focus nor D-Bus Show could bring it up.

The right alt in full mode is now AltGr: sticky like the other modifiers,
it types the keymap's third/fourth level (sk: AltGr+J = ') instead of an
Alt shortcut. In hold-keys mode it holds the physical right alt, since
KWin resets the modifier state after an ISO_Level3_Shift keysym.

As on phone keyboards: a sideways move on space moves the cursor right
away, along the line only, without blanking the keys. Long-press space
still opens the full trackpad.

KWin activates the input method for every text field; its policy (the
tray toggle) only gates the input panel, which sloposk doesn't use. sloposk
now asks KWin over D-Bus whether a focused field should show the
keyboard: never when off, only after touch or a pen by default.
"Always Show" and D-Bus Show/Toggle still show it.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Diagnostics collects what this session doesn't allow, logs it, and lists
it in the settings panel (with a dot on the gear): KWin not launching
sloposk as its keyboard (detected by WAYLAND_SOCKET, since KWin offers the
input-method global to every client), fake input missing or too old,
org.kde.keyboard unreachable, and the D-Bus control name taken.
Modifier combos go through fake input even in text fields: KWin drops
the input method's modifier mask for most clients, so Ctrl+A typed "a".
The desktop file is generated with an absolute Exec, which KWin needs to
match it: one for the installed binary, one for the build's.

The grab bar didn't move the window by mouse, and the corner grip never
resized it (the bar's handler took over its drag). The bar and grip now
start the window manager's move/resize, and Super+LMB/RMB work too.
A KWin rule in kwinrulesrc keeps the window above and unfocused, off the
taskbar, pager and switcher, and remembers its position. KWin now places
the window and keeps it on screen.

Empty keys, duplicate layer names and section ids, repeat on non-keysym
keys and stretch on letters/keys placeholders.

- DebouncedStore, taken out of WindowSettings, now also saves the opacity
slider once a drag ends instead of on every step
- SIGTERM/SIGINT (how KWin stops the input method) quit normally, so
pending geometry and settings are written
- The slider's minimum opacity comes from Settings instead of a copy in QML

Re-fits on a resolution change or a move to another screen, without
overwriting the saved geometry.

Qt binds the lower of the asked and advertised versions; sending
keyboard_keysym (v6) or destroy (v5) to an older KWin makes libwayland
abort. Those requests are skipped there, with a warning.

getLayout is asked asynchronously, and again whenever org.kde.keyboard
registers, so a late start or a KWin restart no longer leaves the globe
key switching only locally.

- Two dead keys that compose (´´ → ´) type the result right away; a dead
key that can't continue the sequence types the old accents and starts anew
- With Ctrl/Alt/Super, a dead key sends its dead keysym, as the physical
key does, not the spacing accent from its label

The surface cancels its fingers under the old rules before the switch, so
a release no longer reaches the other mode (a stuck repeater or held
modifier one way, a second copy of the character the other). Sticky
modifiers, shift and dead keys start over.

- A second long-press finishes the first (typing its choice) before
opening its own popup, instead of sharing one
- Popups move down over their key when the room above is too small
- No popup over an unknown key: an empty rect made every cell zero wide
- A repeated touch id cancels the stale pointer instead of leaking it

- deactivate only drops the context it names; one replaced by an activate
is kept until KWin deactivates it
- Moving focus straight from one field to another ends a manual hide
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- A tapped shift (on or off) survives the field re-reporting its context:
it lasts until a character is typed, the hint changes or a field is focused
- An input-method reset forgets the guessed text and pending dead key, so
double-space can't delete a character the keyboard never saw
- Fields that state typing preferences only get capitals if they ask
- Trackpad moves in fields without surrounding text make the guess unknown;
Backspace removes a whole grapheme cluster from it

- Template alternates cover Central/Eastern European, Turkish, Romanian,
Baltic, Nordic and Esperanto letters, at most 11 per key
- Only letters on the letter rows are skipped as choices, so sk ť, ľ, š…
are offered on their base letter in full mode too
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- The ISO key left of Z takes its room from left shift (2.25 → 1.25 + 1),
so ISO layouts no longer make the shift row the widest
- Caps lock and left shift keep their width; only right-hand keys stretch,
so A no longer lines up with the key below it
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- The main block reserves the width and rows of its biggest layer, so the
numpad and function row no longer shift between letters and symbols
- Smaller layers stretch into the room: stretch keys widen, rows grow
taller (rows above the layer, like the function row, keep their height)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Sections take "fillHeight": their rows stretch over the whole key area
instead of sitting at the bottom at the shared row height
- Rows of other blocks are unaffected; the template turns it on for the numpad

- Opacity slider for the panel behind the keys (10–100%); keys stay opaque
- Blur Behind: asks the compositor (KWin) to blur under the rounded panel
via KF6 WindowSystem; skipped at full opacity
- Settings panel draws over the window background so changes show live,
and scrolls when it doesn't fit
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- HardwareKeys presses a key's unshifted keysym on touch and releases it
on lift, through fake input; held keys repeat and combine as on a
physical keyboard (games, Shift+click)
- Shift/Ctrl/Alt/Super are plain held keys, caps lock is the system's,
dead keys compose in the app
- No long-press, flick, trackpad or rollover in this mode; nothing is
left held when the mode is turned off or touches are cancelled
- Settings switch; default stays the touch (virtual keyboard) mode

- KWinFakeInput (org_kde_kwin_fake_input v6, offered by KWin to the
input-method process): keysyms with real modifier keys held
- The KWin backend uses the input method in text fields and fake input
everywhere else, so shortcuts, terminals and the desktop get keys
- Text rules (auto-capitalization, double-space) only apply in fields
- Always Show setting keeps the keyboard up without a text field
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Full (iPad Pro) mode: every typing key from the keymap, number row,
tab, caps lock, ctrl/super/alt; shifted symbol shown above and flickable
- Dead keys compose with the locale's XKB compose table
- Ctrl/Alt/Super stick like shift and turn keys into shortcuts; a tapped
or held shift joins shortcuts and non-text keys, auto-shift and caps
lock don't
- Auto-capitalization and caps lock only capitalize letters; the user's
shift picks the keymap's shifted level
- Mode switch in settings keeps key size by resizing the window
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Template sections placed above or to the right of the typing keys;
the user picks any mix in settings, typing keys included
- keysym keys send XKB keysyms on press, optionally repeating
- Geometry lays blocks side by side with one key unit; stretch keys are
resolved at layout time so composed blocks line up
- Toggling a block resizes the window so keys keep their size

font.pixelSize is an integer, so the old animation stepped in whole
pixels and re-laid out the text each step: width and height jumped,
centering snapped x sideways and y even moved backwards. Draw at the
final size and animate scale and position, which are continuous.

- Double-space replaced the space via a Backspace keysym, which clients
apply after the commit: use delete_surrounding_text with the commit
- Tests use a shared FakeEngine that applies ops to a simulated field
- Double-tap shift locks at a sentence start; typing between taps doesn't
- Organization name set: config lives in ~/.config/sloposk/
- Settings (auto-capitalization, double-space period) with a ⚙ panel
- Letter rows come from the compositor's XKB keymap; other letters of the
layout become long-press alternates; globe switches the system layout
over org.kde.keyboard
- One JSON template for non-letter layers; stretch keys even out rows

- VisibilityController: show on field focus, dismiss until next focus,
manual show/hide/toggle overrides
- FloatingWindow: resize from the corner grip, clamp to screen
- WindowSettings: geometry per screen, debounced saves
- DBusControl: org.sloposk.Keyboard Show/Hide/Toggle for global shortcuts
- org.sloposk.keyboard.desktop so System Settings lists it as a virtual keyboard
- README with build/run/layout docs

- TextContext: field purpose/hints and text before the cursor, reported by
the backend (KWin content_type + surrounding_text)
- TextRules: sentence-start and double-space heuristics, deletion helpers
- KeyRepeater: held backspace repeats, then deletes whole words (Ctrl+BS)
- Controller keeps a best-guess of the text before the cursor so rules work
instantly and in fields that don't report surrounding text
- No auto-capitalization or smart punctuation in password/URL/email fields

- PointerTracker: per-finger gesture state machine (pure, unit-tested)
- AlternatesPicker + AlternatesPopup.qml: long-press choices, finger selects
- Space long-press trackpad moves the cursor with arrow keysyms
- Slide from .?123 onto a symbol types it and switches back
- New finger commits pending taps (iOS rollover)
- Flick animation: secondary symbol slides down as the finger moves
- Transparent popup margin with an input region that passes clicks through
- tst_keyboardsurface: end-to-end gesture tests on the real QML

Registers as KWin's virtual keyboard (input-method-unstable-v1), shows a
non-focusable layer-shell overlay, and commits Unicode text. Verified in a
nested headless KWin with the textprobe tool.
