Description
Hi
A command that would allow us to hide and show the software keyboard.
termux-keyboard-show / termux-keyboard-hide
This would allow for scripts that automatically go into 'fullscreen' at the start and show the keyboard again when it is done.
Additionally something like termux-keyboard-visible would also be very usefull, to check whether the keyboard is present to begin with.
Example:
isKeyboardVisible=$(termux-keyboard-visible)
termux-keyboard-hide
./presentation.sh
if [ $isKeyboardVisible ]; then
termux-keyboard-show
endif

Research direction
Start by examining existing Termux API command entry points and the Android keyboard integration. Use the requested termux-keyboard-show, termux-keyboard-hide, and termux-keyboard-visible commands as the scope. Done means scripts can hide or show the keyboard and reliably query its visibility.
