Add support for more keys #230

I'm not a developer on this project, but this sounds like a great addition. Tons of people are trying to figure out how to get maliit to provide a keyboard that is appropriate for a terminal. |

This one especially, seems superfluous, as the Shift key already supports a lock state.

The caps lock key is only for completeness of a classical desktop layout.

If these buttons are to be included (is there a point, if nothing is using them?), they will definitely need better labels and icons. While esc might fit on a single key, most of the things added here do not, and should probably have icons instead.

As I mentioned, I wanted to use a icon for the tab key, but could not find any list of supported icon names. The names of page up/down keys can be shortened to pg up and pg dn. I also found out, that there exist symbols for home and end keys, but I have not seen them used yet. There would just be an issue with caps lock, as its symbol is already used with locked shift key. I am unsure how to solve this other than just having a wider key :).

I should have mentioned my motivation - I wanted to create a desktop terminal layout, but got stuck here #229. These keys seemed mature enough for a draft. I may close it, if you think I opened it too soon. |
Adds support for some keys, which would be required for a standard keyboard layout. Some notes:
