Added a Teleport feature and two sample Stream Deck Plus teleporter encoders in the generic Stream Deck sample JSON.
Added an optional continuous mode the to the X-Touch Mini encoders when using command mode.
Added dual trigger support to expressive commands
Added number buffer support to expressive commands
Changed the baro key on the Stream Deck sample and the X-Keys C172 steam gauge and G1000 samples to use the new expressive command capabilities

Virtual Devices are OS level windows that can be created and dragged to other monitors on the computer running X-Plane. Each window can emulate a programmable keyboard with up to 256 keys per device. Although Virtual Device windows work fine with any monitor and mouse they are typically used with a touch enabled monitor.
Converted to new UI tool kit.
