If you have a keyboard layout like the following: A B C D E F G H I J K The E and G keys here should be pressed when clicking in the empty space next to them. This is achieved by not checking the bounding boxes of each key and instead just using the button and row offset to extend buttons/rows to the edges of the view. Caching for the size and position of rows is introduced to simplify implementation and possibly improve performance. Fixes #191
