Also there doesn't seem to be a way to detect the user's preferred layout before pressing any keys, that would make printing the instructions hard.

The linked article [3] links to KeyboardEvent.code which is not deprecated and still supports physical layout

> Also there doesn't seem to be a way to detect the user's preferred layout before pressing any keys, that would make printing the instructions hard I am using a programmable keyboard that I’ve set up with a Dvorak-based layout. Here: https://configure.ergodox-ez.com/layouts/ENb6/latest/0 https://configure.ergodox-ez.com/layouts/ENb6/latest/0 Games defaulting to WASD are fine as long as they allow changing the keybindings in the game. I prefer that games do not try to detect keyboard layout because they’d probably get it wrong anyway.
