I updated my custom layout to add a "Sft" button that applies the Shift modifier and now I can Shift+Alt multiline select in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/vscode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vscode</span></a>!</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/postmarketOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>postmarketOS</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/LinuxMobile" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LinuxMobile</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/mobilelinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mobilelinux</span></a></p>
Adam Honse<p>New <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/phosh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>phosh</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/squeekboard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>squeekboard</span></a> landed in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/postmarketOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>postmarketOS</span></a>! Handles fractional scaling significantly better now! The keyboard still gets smaller, but it stretches to fill the available space rather than wasting space with black bars and making the keys even smaller. I hope that fractional scaling eventually will not impact keyboard height at all, but this is already a huge usability upgrade.</p><p>This is at 150% scale:</p>
Phosh<p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/squeekboard" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>squeekboard</span></a> got an improved shift modifier, better fills empty space in the panel and adds Unicode 16.0 emojis ➕ more consistency fixes in layouts</p><p>3/n</p>

Sebastian Krzyszkowiak<p>Looks like my old patch for workarounding Electron/Chromium bugs in Squeekboard (inspired by a solution used by Gamescope) has been finally merged and released in v1.42.1. It used to exacerbate another preexisting issue, but it now got fixed too.
