3.9.0-beta.001 - Better Keyboards

on GitHub

#55
WIP.

• Keyboards are now actions instead of separate special buttons, and can be added to any action.
  • Will use the global platform (former keyboard_mode, keyboard_id, remote_id, and media_player_id fields by default.
  • Can be set to work with alternate devices by adding the above fields to their custom actions.
• Added support for new ADB remote entity for keyboard mode
  • It's much faster than the media player.
  • You should switch to using the ADB remote entity for keyboard ID.
• Rework buttons to use more generic HTML and updated ripple.
  • Styles currently broken.
  • Ripple has a touch stuck fix but needs work.
