Package stevia: Information

Stevia is a default keyboard for Phosh.
The purpose of Stevia is:

- to allow experimentation without the risk of breaking end user systems
- be helpful when debugging input-method related issues
- be quick and easy to (cross)compile
- allow to move GObject bits and Widgets over to squeekboard easily if
  desired (hence provide API documentation)

Features:

- easy to swap out with squeekboard (implements phosh's [sm.puri.OSK0]() DBus
  interface) for low risk experimentation
- easy to temporarily replace running instance ('--replace' option)
- no language boundaries within the codebase to lower the entrance barrier
- use current GTK and GObject patterns (actions, bindings, ...)
- use GNOME libs and technologies wherever possible (GSettings, json-glib, ...)
- [character popover](https://gitlab.gnome.org/guidog/stevia/-/raw/main/screenshots/pos-popover.png)
- [emoji layout](https://gitlab.gnome.org/guidog/stevia/-/raw/main/screenshots/pos-emoji.png)
- cursor navigation via space-bar long-press
- word correction via hunspell
- use any program as completer via a 'pipe' completer ([Example](https://social.librem.one/@agx/110260534404795348))
- [word completion](https://social.librem.one/@agx/109428599061094716)
  based on the presage library
- experimental input of Indic languages using [varnam](https://github.com/varnamproject)
- allow for secondary completers to amend completion results
- allow to prevent keyboard unfold for certain apps (via app-id)
- allow to prevent keyboard unfold when a hardware keyboard is presen
