Missing keyboard character

Language

Esperanto

Details

Only display the characters on the screen keyboard that exist in the language. Or gray the rest. Some keys are labeled with 2 characters and I see no way to selekt one of them.

Fixed in PR #180.

The diacritic hints on keyboard keys were visual-only labels with no interaction mechanism — users could see "ĉ" below "c" but had no way to select it.

Fix: Added an iOS-style long-press popup. Hold down a key with diacritics (~300ms) and a horizontal pill strip appears above the key showing all variants. Slide to select, release to confirm. Works on mobile (touch) and desktop (mouse long-press). Includes haptic feedback.

Note: the game already accepted base characters and normalized them (typing "c" matches words with "ĉ"), so gameplay worked — the issue was discoverability. Now users can explicitly type accented characters when they want to.

Tested with Esperanto (ĉ, ĝ, ĥ, ĵ, ŝ, ŭ), Portuguese (à, á, â, ã, é, ê, ó, ô, õ), German (ß), and French diacritics. 4 new E2E tests cover the popup.
