Implement tab input method in RIDE #1253

Describe the issue you are having

TryAPL and other online APL editors allow users to input glyphs using the tab input method.
Examples:

  • can be inputted using the key combination < - TAB
  • can be inputted using the key combinatoin = = TAB
  • Etc.

This is a very useful feature, since many glyphs in RIDE do not have a prefix method of inputting and must be selected with a mouse using the language bar.

Did you connect to an already running interpreter or start the interpreter from Ride?

Start the interpreter from RIDE / irrelevant

How do you reproduce the issue?

Attempt to do a tab input key combination as described above

Aren't e.g. grade up prefix followed by Shift+4 and over prefix followed by Shift+o?

Nope, neither work (xkbmap FI)

Over doesn't have a prefix entry, and the entry for grade up says:

GRADE UP (⍋)
Keyboard: §⊢

which is a little silly, I don't have a right tack key on my keyboard 😂

Over missing is probably due to an old version. Try if prefix followed by AltGr+4

Nope, doesn't work. AltGr+4 is $

Nope, just prints out the literal characters
