Description

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

When pressing one of the green triangles with the “+” sign on the touch layout, a new key is created, whose “Text” and “Unicode” fields are set to an empty string and the “ID” field is set to a value in the form of “T_new_???” (where the question mark stands for any cipher). Then, writing a text in the “Text” field, let’s say “ŭ”, the “Unicode” field is automatically set to the “U+016D” value, but the “ID” field is not set to anything, while it could be more useful, if it was automatically set to “U_016D”.
