I can't seem to find the 'shaddah' diacritic in any of the arabic layouts.

It looks like this

(zoom in, it's tiny)

I tried adding it as a custom key but it was treated as a non-diacritic (it appeared as a normal character.

I'm using the latest version 1.29.0 of the app.
I've checked the titles of all open issues and this seems to be unique.

Thank you to all the comtributors to the project, excellent work.

In https://github.com/Julow/Unexpected-Keyboard/blob/deb611a0d2c7e75a1c276238064219fc54b4417d/srcs/layouts/arab_hamvaj_tly.xml (line 20), it is defined as the northwest swipe of the "ب" key.

It's also a swipe of a key in the Urdu Phonetic layout.

PS—This doesn't prove it is treated as a diacritic. If you can't attach it to a letter, typing in either order, a correction may need to be done.

Thank you, appreciated.
I can now create a custom layout with the key added.

It does behave as a diacritic.

I'ts also in the master branch (line 20):
