LILYGO T-Deck Virtual REPL

Placing code.py and tdeck_repl.py on the LilyGO [T-DECK](https://www.lilygo.cc/products/t-deck) will present a virtual REPL on the device keyboard when it boots. The trackball will function as an up/down/left/right arrow for accessing the command line history and edit functions.  

To generate an equal sign (=) enter an underscore followed by a dash (_-) and to generate square brackets enter a parenthesis followed or proceeded by a plus sign ( [ = (+, ] = +) ).

Pressing the speaker key (just left of the enter key) will generate the dollar sign ($).

Multi-key translation table:  

    _-   ->   =  

    (+   ->   [  

    +)   ->   ]  

    (-   ->   <  

    -)   ->   >  

    _#   ->   ^  

    _/   ->   \  

    -/   ->   %  

*To display the key translation table on the T-Deck, type "import keys" from the REPL prompt.*  

In order to enable T-Deck keyboard input in python scripts add the following block of code to the import section of your code:

```py

try:

    from tdeck_repl import input

except:

    pass

```

The Virtual REPL will treat a file named virtcode.py in the root directory ('/') the way the native REPL treats a code.py file, that is it will be executed within the Virtual REPL when the Microcontroller is powered up or reset. When the virtcode.py program exits the Virtual REPL will take over control.
