feat(web): Arrange longpress pop-ups in such a way as to reduce travel distance

[katelem24]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

In other keyboards, the longpress pop-ups are arranged so that the travel distance is minimal. In Keyman they are all arranged only in a line/row making some pop-up keys far from the “parent” key, thus increasing travel distance to some keys.

Describe the solution you'd like

In Keyman, I will like you to arrange the keys in two rows to reduce the travel distance when using longpress.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Thank you for the feature request! I agree that this would be a good idea. I don't expect that we will have space in the 18.0 release cycle to include it, so for now I've marked it as Future -- we will re-triage in our next planning meeting.
