One thing I've always admired about the MacOS UI (among a bunch of
things I don't like about it) is the keyboard widget, which is always
available. Click on it and you get the layout of the keyboard, but it's
*dynamic*. Press Shift, Ctrl, Command etc. and the layout shows you
exactly what character will be produced (you can also copy it to the
clipboard of course). Some time ago I asked on the list if there was
anything comparable on Linux, but apparently there isn't.
