    Draw keyboards in settings so you can tell what is mapped and what is free.

    Superpowers

    Clicking on an unbound key opens a dialog with an autocomplete field to choose a function.

    Clicking on a bound key will jump you to that setting.

    On hover, a 'X' remove-binding button appears.

    You can drag the functions from one bound key to another key. If the target has a binding, they are swapped.

    However, keymap updates have a noticeable latency because it has to rebuild the keyboards every time.

    I don't think detecting the keyboard layout is possible. If there is sufficient interest I could redo the data format to use a subset of the data format at http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/ and take submissions for user selection.

    Vanilla, no. My trackball buttons are typically bound to special functions, so I haven't tested whether button#4 gets passed through.

    As a Dvorak user, I would love to support for alternate layouts!

    This is a needed enhancement and you have gone way beyond a keyboard viewer. It doesn't quite work for me as I'm having trouble reading the bindings.

    Would it be possible to change "on hover" to pop-out an enlarged key view?

    I don't know how much work this would be. My thinking is that you would want to know why a certain key isn't working and need to check the key binding.

    I looked at key binding. The default PA key binding is good, but it is organized by command type. Hotbuild2 has a great UI, but the emphasis (naturally) is on build. Your Keybind Extensions mod is a valuable for adding "missing" commands and is organized like the native PA key binding. It is only your Keyboard Viewer that gives a complete view of the gamer's key binding.

    It's a tricky balance between fitting it on uncertain screen sizes and readability. And then they added UI scaling to the mix.

    Maybe. It might interfere with hover targets (and with an X button the popup you can't just make it ignore the pointer)
