The termux `extra-keys` have been moved to `termux-shared` library so that they can be imported and used by other apps for their own needs as long as they comply with GPLv3 license. Almost everything is customizable and has no dependency on termux specific logic. Check the javadocs of files of `com.termux.shared.terminal.io.extrakeys` package for more info, specially, `ExtraKeysView`, `ExtraKeysInfo`, `ExtraKeyButton`, `TerminalExtraKeys` and `TermuxTerminalExtraKeys`. Moreover, you can now long hold on `CTRL`, `ALT`, `SHIFT` and `FN` to lock those control keys. They will not be released when you press another key and will only be released by pressing the respective control key again. Closes termux#2049, Closes termux#1861

Feature description
Since 'shift' key is not available for extra keys I have reconfigured my text editor so text selection is done via Alt + arrows. However, pressing 'Alt' key + another key, immediately releases Alt key. This basically prevents me from using Alt/Ctrl key to select text. It would be great if once I hold Alt/Ctrl key in extra keys row for longer time, it remains pressed until I hold it for longer time again.
Reference implementation
I'm not aware of any other similar implementations
