[Feature]: Expand soft keyboard popups to radial menus #3571

Feature description

The soft keyboard's popups are excellent, but they're limited to 1 per key. Swiftkey handles this with a popup menu that has multiple selections laid out horizontally, but Termux's ergonomic is more elegant. I propose expanding it to multiple popups accessible via swiping in different directions.

For example, using up = 0 this could define a three-lobed radial menu with ./ available in most of the up directions and ..., ?. splitting the rest.

{ key: '.', popup: { radial: [ \
  { macro: '. /', display: './' ,span:[ 0.8,0.2 ] }, \
  { macro: '. . .', display: '...' ,span:[ 0.2,0.5 ] }, \
  { macro: '? .', display: '?.' ,span:[ 0.5,0.8 ] } \
  ] } } \

It might be best to keep the location of the popup display the same, no matter the radial choice, both for clean visibility and ease of implementation.
