It'd be nice to be able to change the font used in the key-view window. I prefer fixed-width fonts in my tutorials to avoid confusion between some of the characters; e.g. I and l look identical, but are in fact different characters; uppercase i/I and lowercase l/L.

There is a high-legibility mode for the standard system font which clearly differentiates between l and L or 0 and O. See this for an example and implementation:

Thanks for the tip. This would be pretty easy and useful to add as an option, whereas selecting any font is a bit more work and time is limited.
