[Filippo Scognamiglio <flscogna@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello everyone,

Just a quick update: there is a new terminal version in the store.

It features a new tab page (with previews), a new keyboard bar (more
configurable) and various fixes.
This one is also embedded in a fat package for those of you who wanted to
run it on the desktop (I haven't personally tested it on non-armhf archs
though).

The new keyboard can be customized via QML profiles (in the future it will
be json). If you create some interesting layouts for some specific usages
or applications (vim/emacs/nano/mutt whatever) please share them, the
current ones are more boiler-plates than anything else.

Thank you very much for your feedbacks and bug reports.

Cheers,
Filippo

> * User configurable keyboard overlays (via json files) for

> * Copy/paste support
