Visual keyboard layout #67

Open eridal opened 4 years ago

eridal commented 4 years ago

Hey, I been tweaking my hotkeys using an old style sheet and paper drawings and I kept thinking that it could be really handy that this tool be able to visually draw what the hotkeys will look like by drawing the icons over an small keyboard.

Nothing fancy, just put a short text or small icon next to the letter.

Now I know that while that might sound not-so-complex, the devil in in the details, and in this case that will be the large amount of different layouts that are in the wild.. but the tool could start with support for just only a few and then allow the community to contribute more as PR.

Do you think this is an idea worth trying?

That is a pretty cool idea, @eridal. I'm terrible at UI and would probably not have the time to build something like that into the site, but happy to accept any PRs in that direction.

@crimsoncantab Thanks for such nice idea reception!

I will try to hack some quick prototype over the weekend, will let you know once I have something to show.

For anybody reading this, please get in touch if you want to contribute! The merrier the better!!
