btw, I also added code for a backspace key. I *know* that you can slide
to the left for backspace, but if you want to delete an entire
sentence (or just 10 letters), this becomes ridiculous. Therefore: the
backspace key is to be found in the same group as the return key.
I've updated the current image with it.
Now just some buttons to quickly go from letters to ciphers and to the
sentence-characters (".","?", etc...). Instead of always needing to
slide up and down ... There's place for at least 3 extra signs on the
letters screen, I would use them for "uppercase" (and in the uppercase
version: "lowercase"), "numbers" and "sentence-characters". This would
work more reliable and quicker than the basic sliding ...
