- Make text selection easier and quicker by selecting text directly on long press, and using standard grip bars for changing the selection.
- Disable the drawer while selecting text.
- Fix problem with selecting snippets of text with wide unicode characters at start and end.
- Remove the "tap-screen" configuration option for a more common show keyboard behaviour when tapping the terminal.
- Do no longer map the back key to escape by default - but it's still possible to do by configuration.
- Add new hardware keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+K for toggling soft keyboard visibility.
Some bluetooth keyboards [1] input U+02C6, the unicode character
MODIFIER LETTER CIRCUMFLEX ACCENT instead of the more common ^
(U+005E CIRCUMFLEX ACCENT). Remap it to the common caret since
that is what terminal programs expect.

Let the user run termux-setup-storage, which will ensure that storage
permission has been granted and setup $HOME/storage/ folder with
symlinks to storage folders.
The original reason for intercepting the escape key in onKeyPreIme()
was to prevent the escape key as being treated as the Back key before
reaching onKeyDown().
This seems no long necessary, and may mess up handling the ...+1
combination for escape on the Google Pixel C keyboard (see #27).
By using the file $HOME/.config/termux/termux.properties it will
be possible to configure the behaviour of:
- The bell character.
- Tapping the terminal.
- The back key.
At startup Termux now checks if there is external storage available,
and creates a private area on the external storage if one exists as
well as creating a symlink to the private are at $HOME/storage.
The Termux implementation of the ${CSI}${N}T escape sequence to scroll
down N lines (SD - Pan Up) did not take the top margin into account
when figuring out where to place the scrolled rows.
Fixes#28.
When mouse reporting is enabled, do not send mouse events on up
after a long press, since that causes e.g. the cursor to move in
vim when lifting the finger after long pressing for the menu.
Starting with Android 6.0 the system may automatically backup app
data when a users installs an app on a new device or reinstalls an
app on one. After this commit this only affects the $HOME/backup/
folder, so that the user may choose what to backup.
