feat(t-deck): add Greek keyboard input and diacritics - #420
Adds an optional Greek keyboard layout for the LilyGO T-Deck keyboard.
Features
Switch between English and Greek with Alt+Space
Greek lowercase and uppercase key mapping
Greek tonos support
Greek dialytika support
Combined tonos + dialytika for ΐ and ΰ
EN / EL layout indicator while a textarea is focused
Keeps the existing keyboard implementation unchanged for non-T-Deck builds
T-Deck keyboard handling
The T-Deck keyboard controller reports Alt+Space as a normal space in key mode, so the driver briefly switches to raw matrix mode only when a space is received to detect the Alt modifier, then immediately returns to key mode.
In Greek mode, the physical $ key is used as a dead key - it's almost on the same position like on standard greek keyboards
$ → (accent) tonos
Shift+$ → (diairetic marks) dialytika
both sequentially → (accent+diairetic marks) tonos + dialytika
Testing
Tested on a LilyGO T-Deck Plus with the Meshtastic t-deck-tft target.
Verified:
English / Greek layout switching
lowercase and uppercase Greek input
(accent) tonos
(diairetic marks) dialytika
(accent+diairetic marks) tonos + dialytika
no extra space generated by Alt+Space
layout indicator visibility and styling
successful pio run -e t-deck-tft build
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
T-Deck users can switch between English and Greek keyboard layouts with Alt+Space.
Greek input supports tonos and dialytika marks. When an accented character is unavailable, input falls back to the regular Greek character.
An EN or EL layout indicator appears while a text area is focused and matches the top-message label’s font and color.
In English mode, Shift+$ enters $; pending Greek diacritics are cleared when switching layouts or pressing Enter.
It looks like this branch is under active development. To avoid overwhelming you with review comments due to an influx of new commits, CodeRabbit has automatically paused this review. You can configure this behavior by changing the reviews.auto_review.auto_pause_after_reviewed_commits setting.
The T-Deck keyboard driver supports English and Greek input, including Greek letter mappings, diacritic handling, and an active-layout indicator. Non-T-Deck builds retain the existing keyboard reader.

Merge Risk: Low · previous review 3b204
The EN/EL indicator couples keyboard input to a particular view’s UI state. This is a maintainability concern rather than a demonstrated input failure; the change remains mergeable with that coupling understood.

Review details
Systems and components
observed — source (service) was modified; 1 changed file maps to changed impact.
Before / after behavior
observed — Modified behavior in source/input/I2CKeyboardInputDriver.cpp: The ui.h include is now compiled only for T-Deck builds.
observed — Modified behavior in source/input/I2CKeyboardInputDriver.cpp: Adds T-Deck-only Greek layout state, an EN/EL focus indicator with style synchronization, UTF-8 encoding, and lowercase and uppercase key-to-Greek mappings.
observed — Modified behavior in source/input/I2CKeyboardInputDriver.cpp: Adds mappings for tonos, dialytika, and combined tonos/dialytika; unsupported key combinations return zero for fallback handling.
observed — Modified behavior in source/input/I2CKeyboardInputDriver.cpp: Adds raw-matrix reading that clears the output buffer, switches to raw mode, reads and drains available bytes, then restores key mode. A failed mode switch or a byte count other than five returns failure.

- Around line 142-144: In `tdeckUpdateLayoutIndicator`, cache the displayed
layout and call `lv_label_set_text` only when it changes. In
`tdeckSyncLayoutIndicatorStyle`, cache font and color separately and apply each
only when its value changes, while still syncing style when the source label
changes. Preserve the existing visibility flag calls.

false; preserve the existing behavior for successful transmissions and short

Remove the view-owned label dependency from the input driver.
source/input/I2CKeyboardInputDriver.cpp includes ui.h under T_DECK and reads objects.top_messages_node_label. The 320x240 view owns that label and writes it at TFTView_320x240.cpp:8050. The input layer therefore depends on view-owned UI state, which reverses the expected layer direction.
Expose the active Greek layout through a small accessor or callback. Let the view layer create, position, and style the EN/EL indicator. The input driver then handles key translation only.
