About The Project

OverKeys Demo

OverKeys is a free and open-source keyboard layout visualizer designed for users to practice alternative keyboard layouts, such as Colemak, Dvorak, Graphite, Focal, and many more. Learn and practice your layouts system-wide, personalize keyboard appearance, and improve your typing.

This project was initially developed to help with the creator's system-wide practice of the Canary layout, but has since evolved to support user-defined layouts, layer switching integration, and customization options.
