On the other hand, two dropdown menus down under the virtual keyboard would
do the job also, and take less spaces.
Impression ?

I think that is a good idea and I will look into it.

Here is a muckup of what i had in mind

IMHO this looks good. Some suggestions you did not ask for :-)

1) I would move the "Maps" group on top as it provides informations you have to know first in order to interpret the keys on the keyboard.

2) I would put a colon after popup menu labels ("System:", "User:").

3) I would remove the group around "User mapping" and put it inside the "Maps" group (as it logically belongs to that group). I think some space between the System popup menu and User label is sufficient to separate them.

Michael
