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.

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.

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.

- 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

- 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

- 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

- 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

- 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
