Show pressed characters while typing (For clarity)

[v-amorim]

Would be nice to see what you are typing and then transforming it into the desired symbol, for clarity.

As of now, we need two things:

• be sure we typed the right commands in order;
• see the system tray icon to check if it's green.

For me, it's just a shift of "what to memorize": Alt code sequences or WinCompose sequences?

An approach would be like most emoji keyboards do ( you type ":" and it only transform in the symbol when you get it right, or show all possible with typed characters) With Right Alt

Suggestion:

• Press Right Alt
• All characters will now have underline (or other color?)
• After any char typed, show all possible symbols starting with that char
• When you finish, or select desired suggestion, transform given text into symbol

Eg (used github emoji style): Press RightAlt → Type 8 → Show suggestions (we only have one when starting with 8) → Type another 8 (88) → It auto transform into ∞ (as usual)

⎄ Compose 8 8 → ∞

Suggestions dropdown can be better planned and implemented later, at least show what you typed before transforming in a symbol

Also, would be nice if have had another color on icon tray, for double ⎄ Compose
