Please add accent characters like öüı to the Turkish layout

Please add accent characters like öüı to the Turkish layout as independent characters, not alternative characters.

They are commonly used in our language and it wastes too much time to long-press to write them.

I agree to split i and ı as there is still room for one extra key, but for the other letters it will be a bit more difficult...
You can test this in the latest beta

Cyril I have asked for setting the soft letters as long press defaults in Turkish layout nearly a year ago and you had said you will look into it and maybe make it an option. Inclusion i an ı keys is certainly a step in the right direction but what I am suggesting is a blanket improvement and not hard to implement either, and it will effect only the keys that have soft letters. Please do implement this, itll make our lives 10 times easier typng in Turkish.

I'm not saying this change is difficult, I'm saying that making it optional is difficult (and it HAS to be an option) if I have to do this for the dozens of languages supported by Smart Keyboard. But I have an idea about how it could be implemented in a clean way, and it has now a high priority in the TODO list
