Add support to color individual key icons in vial layout UI

6 votes

Problem:
Ergo keyboards with custom levels of stagger can get a little hard to keep track of the home row, especially if you're looking at a new-to-you model, increasingly-so when you're not looking at the alpha layer.

Suggestion:
Either in the vial.json file, or directly in the UI (saved to .vil files when exported), it would be helpful to highlight the how row keys (or any other user defined keys), and have this color persist to other layers by default.

I think this should ideally be in the vial.json file, where you define the home row keys, or even just the homing keys (F&J for Qwerty).
