Pierre Kisters 224715d926 VR keyboard touch typing, on a controller bridge from the SteamVR dashboard
keyboard.vr.touchTyping (off by default): a key is pressed when a
controller's tip, where SteamVR's laser starts (/pose/tip: the device pose
times the render model's "tip" component), passes through it from the
front; released when pulled back 1 cm, re-armed 5 mm in front. Both hands,
also at once. Keys go through the keyboard's own HandleTouchStart /
HandleTouchEnd, like a laser press (Backspace repeats while held). Options
depth (cm) and haptics.

The geometry lives in a reusable controller bridge (vr-keyboard-controllers,
internal option): a systemui patch reads the keyboard's pose with SteamVR's
SGQueryService (an empty transform of ours in the keyboard's mount) and both
controllers' poses, and streams per hand the tip, the laser's hit on the
keyboard and the trigger (~90 Hz while relevant) through the
vr-keyboard-controllers-relay service to __sfuiControllers in Steam's
SharedJSContext. Tests: flake checks vr-keyboard-controllers and
vr-keyboard-touch.

Pierre Kisters 5d15902ba1 Clearer file names and layout; docs/development.md
- steam-keyboard-patch.nix -> vr-keyboard-extra-keys.nix (option
  keyboard.vr.extraKeys), helper.mjs -> xdotool-helper.mjs;
  homeManagerModules.steam-keyboard-patch stays as an alias.
- vr-keyboard: panel.js/unpatch-panel.js/relay.mjs ->
  suggestions-panel/{patch,unpatch}.js + relay.mjs; decoder.js ->
  swipe-decoder.js; build.nix split into dictionary.nix and check.nix.
- modules/lib -> modules/steam-ui-patches/lib (the UI patch library).
- docs/development.md: repository layout (what runs where), runtime names.

Patch names, user services and state files are unchanged.
