. and - were added in the empty spaces next to the middle row in the base-view; / and | are in those positions in the shift-view; \ and _ are there in the numbers-view; and @ was moved into the top-row in the symbols-view, to reduce layout-changes when switching views. The Tab-key in the top-row from !600 (closed) is also included.

Tested on a PinePhone; it worked well.


These layouts can be tested by placing us.yaml and us_wide.yaml in ~/.local/share/squeekboard/keyboards/terminal/. Squeekboard will then use either the normal or wide layout (depending on the width of the screen) when the current layout is the us-terminal-layout.
