One feature I missed from MessagEase when I switched to thumb-key was that you could swipe the hidden "ghost key" symbols located in the numerical view even from the alphabetical view, provided you knew where they were. I added this functionality for myself, but then added a settings option for it to make it configurable. I'm sharing in case you want to upstream this into the main version but totally up to you :) The default is to deactivate this setting, so it's an opt-in feature I have only added the string resource for English, since I don't know a good way to translate this concept. I've written database migration logic to upgrade to the new version
