@tboenig it's just the visualization, i.e. the layout of letter buttons across lines
Characters in the virtual keyboard are grouped together by different characteristics. In the web-view this corresponds to a new line for each line the .txt-file (up to 12, if there are more a new line is started).
For the default keyboard this will result in sth like this:
Of course it is possible to change the layout and add custom characters by changing the .txt-file and uploading it. You can also add additional character buttons and delete unneeded ones with the menu below.
Okay, thank you very much for your answers. I have prepared something, see https://tboenig.github.io/keyboardGT/overview.html.
Would these keyboards complement LAREX? And are they in the right format? Example: https://tboenig.github.io/keyboardGT/keyboards/LAREX/LatExtD.txt

Great resource, will certainly refer OCR4all / LAREX users who have questions about MUFI / Virtual Keyboards / etc. to this. Thank you!

More or less. LAREX currently excepts a single whitespace between the characters in a row. So the following file would work LatExtD.txt and look like the following in the LAREX UI
The current text format is a bit too unstructured for my taste and the parser isn't really robust but it works. We'll most likely add other import / export formats in the next major release of LAREX and I guess adding compatibility for the virtual keyboard files of other editors would be kinda neat as well.
We also have a repository which contains all virtual keyboards which are shipped per default with LAREX and we're open for PRs containing other virtual keyboard templates.

With the other keyboard formats you have some inspiration for an optimized keyboard format. Does a PR make sense if your keyboard format is still changing?
In
you provide a virtual keyboard. What is the meaning behind the division of the characters into individual lines?
