Description

PR #9196 implements a system that allows Morse Code Input on Single-Button Devices like the LILYGO T3S3 and Heltec V3 to enable them to send messages over the Meshtastic network without the need for pairing them to a device like a phone or computer.

The Morse Code Input gives live hints to the user to guide them through the right dots and dashes for each character. Even unexperienced users should be able to enter and send their first message in a matter of minutes.
