Say you're one an ISO keyboard. The keybindings are very often very hard to use, because they require some finger twisting to hit effectively.
Would it be possible to have keybindings location mapped? Thus making it possible to have easy keybindings whilst also being able to have documentation that can be adjusted to the keyboard type?

duplicate of #133. I don't think this makes sense. There are a huge amount of keyboard variants out there and creating mappings for all of them is not practical. Its also not really necessary. We don't optimize the keymap for reachability. Almost all maintainers use somekind of split keyboard with a custom (usually non-qwerty) layout so we don't optimize for a speficifc layout and instead have mostly memonic based keybindings.

If you find some keymaps uncomfortable you can simply remap them in your own config.
