I'm all for klickyklacky as it's fun :D
I also just used my new motto (shamelessly stolen from Nike) "Just Do
It!" and found the swipe keyboard I said I'd find last time this topic
came up. I will preface it by saying the code is VERY old. This is not
mine but one I came across while searching years ago. It still wokred a
while back and interestingly was recently (2022) active in that they
added an RPM to build it. It's Qt5 but I'm sure with some work someone
could bring it to Qt6.
