Bug Description

While switching between upper and lower case is quite rapid, changing between letters and characters is very slow.

I'm guessing that one codepath causes just the labels of the QML buttons to update, while the other makes a ton of new QML objects.

This makes entering passwords needlessly annoying, as you have to wait for the keyboard to catch up all the time.
