I have built a full size 21x6 handwired keyboard using a squareish matrix, 10x11 to save on pins, and am working on my second custom using a pcb. The first time I did so I numbered the matrix by hand, which was very confusing and error prone. This time I rearranged the full size matrix in a grid layout in this software. Then I labelled each key from 01 to 118 in a 17x7 grid, corresponding to the "Annotate schematic, sort components by y position function" in eeschema(kicad) If this software supported the same numbering function of kicad then it would make this tedious process a breeze, because it would merely be necessary to re-arrange the squareish matrix back to a standard layout, then layout the switch footprints corresponding to their number labels.
