Offset hint

[blackketter]

I took a crack at #359 with my first Swift code.

Thanks for taking the time to implement this. This will dramatically reduce the no. of times users deactivate hint mode.

Hints at the bottom of the screen are not visible. I think a hintview that points downwards would be helpful.

I'll work on that. And do the other edges as well, though that might take a little time.

Other edges as in left/right pointing hints? Up/Down should be enough right?

Having left/right would make the hints more visible at the left and right edges of the screen. They could also be used in vertical columns of hints with the proper cluster detection.

@blackketter Is extra work needed to merge this PR?

[blackketter]

I’m using it as is without problem, but dexter wanted some improvements. I suppose that would be his call, but I haven’t heard from him in a while.

@blackketter I'd suggest sending a friendly message to his email address. You can find it by running git log.
