Improved keyboard typing by button. We actually filter finger moves when user starts to tap by other finger to choose letter on selected button. This eliminates unneeded switch of chosen button problem reported by some users.

We now ignore all settings related to deactivation of screen reader when using remote help, to be able to use all functionalities.
