I expect that there will be a number of Hexpansions that handle some form of text input. This adds common keyboard buttons to the list of inputs known by the firmware, and updates the text entry dialogue to accept them.

How would a hexpansion send the input events? Using a minimised app? |

you can use the background_update function in the hexpansion app to raise the events. The hexpansion apps use the app class, same as the tildagon apps, described in https://tildagon.badge.emfcamp.org/tildagon-apps/development/ |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
"DELETE" is doing a backspace, we could support both in the future.
