Keyboard-layout-editor.com is a web
application that enables the editing of keyboard-layouts, i.e., the position
and appearance of each physical key.
The motivation for creating this application was a custom keyboard I was
designing. I wanted to be able to experiment quickly with different possible
layouts and visualize them easily. The existing graphics tools were capable
enough, but cumbersome to use for this specific task.
As I sank further into the keyboard-enthusiast scene, I became aware of
custom keycap sets that were being created by and for other enthusiasts. The
ability to specify various details of the visual-appearance of the keycaps
is an attempt to render these custom keycap sets as accurately as possible
(within the constraints of HTML/CSS).
