Detailed changes

phosh-osk-stub (0.25.0) experimental; urgency=medium
.
  * shortcuts-bar: Don't change background on hover
  * shortcuts-bar: Allow shortcuts to have different width.
    Ctrl+Shift+a takes considerably more space than e.g. Ctrl-a
    and as we want as many shortcuts in reach as possible allow
    for different sizes.
    Use slightly larger padding to make things not look too crammed.
  * shortcuts-bar: Make scrollbar consistent with emoji picker scrollbar
  * input-surface: Disable layout switching via swipe gesture by default.
    It's confusing to users and we have a popover now and copy/paste buttons
    can be added to the terminal shortcuts bar.
  * osk-stub: Allow to enable debug surface.
    We simply do this by allowing swipes.
  * doc: Link to GTK docs for valid accelerator values
  * news: Fix wording
  * input-surface: Set the terminal layout early.
    Just so we have layout setting closer together
  * input-surface: Mark Terminal display name as translatable
  * build: Drop config.h template.
    Extra effort to keep it in sync when adding
    new configuration data.
  * layouts/terminal: Make special shell characters easier to reach.
    The often needed ones should now be reachable via the first symbol level
    or a popover on the default level.
  * input-surface: Make sure we select the test layout.
    We want it visible right away.
  * Add helper to screenshot all language layouts.
    We screenshot at the 360x720, this can be changed by giving another
    phoc.ini
    Somewhat based on phosh's (long retired) smoketest:
  * packaging: Recommend fonts-noto-core.
    Otherwise we lack characters like the tab key
  * osk-key: Add expand property.
    This allows a key to take up extra horizontal space in a row.
  * osk-key: Allow to modify key width.
    So far it was construct-only but we want to fix it up later on.
  * osk-widget: Break overly long line
  * osk-widget: Allow space bar to take extra horizontal space.
    Instead of hardcoding a few values based on the number of keys rather
    expand to the maximum width.
    This avoids that the keys to switch layers jump around a lot based on
    the with of the space key. It's still not perfect in layouts that use
    11 keys in the `normal` layer but 10 keys in the `symbols` layer (e.g.
    Swedish).
