HeliBoard 3.0-alpha3

[Helium314]

Changes since 3.0-alpha2:

• number row Layout changes when pressing shift (set basic number row to go to old layout), by @EduRGB (Layout for shift + long press on number row #1400)
• reduce icon size and horizontal padding in settings (user contributions to settings theme still welcome before 3.0 release!)
• store clipboard history as strings (Clipboard preview displays formatting for copied rich text, but pastes plain text #1430)
• move "no limit" setting for clipboard retention time to the right
• add setting to disabled "always show suggestions" for InputType.WEB_EDIT_TEXT (~browser edit fields and similar)
  • should help with many cases in which the "always show suggestions" setting causes issues
• add some settings for tuning auto-space behavior (Option to disable insertion of "phantom spaces" #876, Phantom space does not work when capitalising. #1348)
• make reverting autocorrect on backspace optional ([Copy] Option for autocorrect without it removing the correction when pushing the backspace key. #210)
• upgrade build target to Android 15
  • may cause problems on Android 15 due to changed language codes for Hebrew and Indonesian, please open issues if you notice something related

[mosty copied from alpha1]
This is the third release after an overhaul of the settings. Most changes only concern the UI, but some parts of the settings now work quite differently (especially languages & layouts and user-defined colors).
You can expect to find some bugs, especially in the new settings. So please make a backup before upgrading to 3.0-alpha3 (when coming from 2.3 at least).

If you're using this version, please look for unexpected / unwelcome changes (mostly in the settings). Potential issues might especially occur with:

• insets (system bars, cutout, ...)
• configuration changes like changing screen orientation
• settings that changed significantly - layouts, user-defined colors, dictionaries
  • concerns both the screens and upgrading without changing layouts or colors
• dialogs (visual glitches, inaccessible parts)
• theme of the new settings (inconsistencies, bad color combinations)

looks like there's some issue with edge to edge ui that is forcing the keyboard to go behind the bottom navigation bar making it a bit difficult / uncomfortable to type unless bottom padding is increased.

I'm getting a similar problem, but the main issue for me is that the button to hide the keyboard (the little down arrow) is displayed over the keyboard, making it difficult to press the comma key in my case without closing the keyboard.

Same, already hit those accidentally after some hours of testing

Fixed in #1457
