[Feature Request] Punctuation list as an option for keypad binds in TT9 #1143

Description

@souceira

Hello there - thanks so much for working on an AMAZING app for multitap texting! This is an absolute lifesaver (-:

I'd like to make a suggestion just for funsies - I find that I use punctuation a lot and, while I have set the punctuation order in TT9 to account for my most-used punctuation (thank you for letting us customize this), it can get a bit difficult to find one that I need without either A) adding it manually to the punctuation list, or B) trying to fish for it in a long list of punctuation on one or two keys.

I grew up using Nokia phones and thought about how I handled this back then, and I remembered that you could press a key to bring up a punctuation menu that you can pick from (similar to how we would do it on QWERTY phones these days). It looks something like this (IIRC, it was brought up with a single keypress of either * or #):

I was wondering if this could potentially become one of the menus/actions you can assign to the keypad options in TT9 (which I have made MUCH use of - the ability to customize our own keys is a godsend)! It would be very convenient to be able to pull up a list of punctuation marks instead of spamming the 1/0 key (and those lists get long when you're trying to accommodate everything you might possibly use).

I realize that this might be somewhat of a niche problem, but I figured it couldn't hurt to ask! Thank you so much for all the work you do on this once again - I'm using a flip phone with TT9 and I've never been happier using my phone again in a long while (-:
