Detailed changes

phosh-osk-stub (0.28.0) experimental; urgency=medium

  * layouts/terminal: Add escape to capital layer.
    Not having this key means that every key in the middle row moves slightly
    right on pressing shift, leading to occasional typos on the terminal
    keyboard.

  [ Guido Günther ]
  * manpage: Minor consistency tweak
  * osk-stub: Document all debug flags
  * osk-stub: Remove unused variable
  * osk-widget: Move actual key actions into separate functions
  * osk-widget: Add 'delete' key use.
    Adding more use-types will allow us to do less string parsing in the
    future and to specify the key-use in the layouts already. This will also
    be useful for more complex layout switchings e.g. for uim.
  * osk-widget: Limit key repeat to delete.
    It doesn't work for keys with popovers anyway, it's not needed for space
    as we move the cursor with that so backspace (and maybe <return>) remain
    the only sensible users.
  * osk-widget: Allow to drag fingers between keys.
    The default is to cancel the keypress when the finger leaves the area of
    one key and enters the area of another. Add a new mode that marks the
    old key as released and the new key as pressed instead.
    For that introduce features flags.
  * input-surface: Add common features for all layouts.
    There's some features we want to configure for all layouts.
    Allow to set them via a property on the input-surface and
    bind it to a gsetting.
  * metainfo: Switch to inputmethod.
    It's not a desktop application but rather a wayland input method
    and virtual keyboard.
