More useful terminal key layout for phosh's squeekboard
#1
I didn't like how I had to switch to numbers or functions to press numbers or the tab key, respectively. So I changed the terminal layout a bit. Numbers are now available at the top and at the bottom are tab and the arrow keys. Switching the view reveals del, escape, home, end, pgup and pgdown. The keys are now a little bit smaller but I think they are still easy enough to hit. I based it off of the German layout and added the F-keys to the umlaut-view.

Only thing missing are the modifier keys. Unfortunately they need a new squeekboard version to properly work.

Just add the file terminal.yaml to the directory ~/.local/share/squeekboard/keyboards/ (create if necessary) and it should be picked up for the terminal layout.

For the modifier keys (Ctrl and Alt) to work you need at least squeekboard 1.9.1. As of now I think only Debian phosh has that version.
