On the laptops lcd touch pad. Here’s a idea for a feature.

When leaning new keyboard layout. Say dovrak for example. The trouble is
learning where the new keys are. For me at least, one could do with a
constant reminder.

What if the lcd touch pad displayed the current pressed keys? Maybe on a
image of the keyboard, meaning some way of representing where the key
you pressed is relative to other keys.

So if its the wrong one you can see where the right one is. This info is
only displayed while the keyboard is in use. When the touch pad is in
use it switches to a relevant display for touch pad use.

As for when the user is using not the touch pad nor the keyboard? What
then? display keymap? If playing video display: video controls, time
left, is internet speed fast enough for this stream? etc.
