Virtual keyboard (onscreen keyboard) is missing Ctrl key and thus possibility to send SIGINT signal

[karlitos]

Although I really like the big keys and simple layout of the virtual keyboard I found troublesome, that it lacks the Ctrl key. Lets's say you open terminal and start commands like top or journalctl -f How do you terminate those processes ? Usually, I do Ctrl + C to send a SIGINT signal to go back to terminal - I think the majority of other users is used to this too.

My proposal would be to either have a Ctrl key or a direct possibility to terminate the current process

@karlitos thanks, we do have Ctrl key implemented -- only in Terminal layout. It's only tested in the shell though.
Can you see if that's working for you?

Nice to know, it works flawlessly (actually it is mentioned in the Change log of the image - 2022-04-01) 😄

I was just playing with this image and tested the virtual keyboard under the PIXEL desktop. And there is no Ctrl key when I open the temrinal

@karlitos got you! We will do more test with the desktop -- we prioritized shell over desktop before shipping, but turns out our users like desktop too! ;-)

I just tested the april release and it would be great if at the end we got all keyboards layout with it (not just the qwerty one).
I also managed to get the terminal keyboard on pixel terminal and the extra keys don't work.
