Linger on screen after release, keyviz-style

Previously the chips cleared the instant the keys were released, so the
120ms hide delay was invisible. Keep the last combo rendered for the
whole linger window and only clear it when the timer fires, so a quick
tap stays readable (keyviz keeps keys for lingerDurationMs, 5s by
default). Default 1000ms, tunable via lingerMs.
