Feature: Accents for Held keys? #127

Open rbreaves opened 3 years ago

I was thinking this would be better suited for another application - but then again xkeysnail does intercept every key press and technically could detect when a key is held (repeating). I am wondering what others here think about implementing a method to show an overlay popup when a letter is held for accent options?

Gtk or Qt probably can create the popup, probably is possible.

Agreed. Any type of UI really feels out of scope to me personally.
