Research direction

Start by reading the onboarding flow that guides users to enable the keyboard and the app entry point used when LeanType is opened while it is not the default input method. Make subsequent openings allow access to options without forcing the enable step, and consider a skip button on the onboarding screen. Done when users can revisit options without changing their default keyboard; the issue names no files or tests.

Description

enhancement

Is your feature request related to a problem?
I would like to check/tweak all the options of the application without having it enabled as the default input method

Describe the solution you'd like
After first setup (guiding to enable the keyboard) subsequent opening of the app even if it's not the default should not fallback to forcing user to enable it.

Ideally there should also be a "skip" button on that onbarding screen…

Use case
I often eavaluate other keyboards (currently using HeliBoard) and while LeanType seems interesting I didn't have much time to go over (many!) of its option... right now I have it roughtly set-up but not to my liking to have it as a daily driver.

I would love to go over all the options on my own time while not being forced to constantly go to and from preferred (so far) HeliBoard because it forces me to go to the OS options which is a chore.
