InputRouter takes a context repeat policy. While the keyboard is open, West (backspace), LB/RB (cursor) and South held on the focused backspace or cursor key repeat with the existing InputSettings timings; Done, Cancel and character keys never repeat.

Summary
Holding an editing button on the on-screen keyboard now repeats, reusing the router's existing
InputSettingsdelay, interval and acceleration.InputRouter.RepeatPolicy: optional context rule, checked on every repeat (so a repeat stops as soon as the rule stops applying). Without a policy, only navigation repeats, as before.AppController.IsRepeatableInContext: navigation everywhere, plusVirtualKeyboard.IsRepeatablewhile a keyboard modal is open and not busy.VirtualKeyboard.IsRepeatable: West (backspace) and LB/RB (cursor) repeat. South repeats only when held on the⌫ ◀ ▶key it pressed; moving focus or any other action stops it. Done, Cancel and character keys never repeat.InputHostwires the policy into the router and uses it for OS key repeat too, so holding ←/→ moves the caret continuously while typing. Enter (Done) still never repeats.IsRepeatable()itself is unchanged, so Back/Confirm stay non-repeatable everywhere else.Tests
CI (Windows):
InputRouterdeletes many characters and stops on release. Holding South on⌫repeats, and holding it on a character types once.Confirm_fires_once_per_press_and_never_repeats, etc.) are unchanged.Manual (in
docs/TESTING.md): the hold behavior with a real controller.Closes #42
