- 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

- 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

- 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)

- 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

- 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
