Hi !
I use "FRPC" layout on my Mac, and keycastr show wrong keys sometimes :

# key show : Option"
{ show : Option'
} show : Option=
...

Layout maybe not take in count ?

Hello, thank you for opening an issue.

Looking at your keyboard layout, KeyCastr is displaying the expected output. It is displaying the modifiers plus the keycap for your layout. On a French PC keyboard, ' is the keycap for { (when ⌥ is applied), and = is the keycap for } (when ⌥ is applied). If I type ⌥3 on a US English keyboard to produce £, KeyCastr will display ⌥3.

Displaying keycaps vs. the result of applying modifiers (expected output) is a tricky topic, which is discussed in #187 . Switching it by default for all usage results in other unexpected results, so it needs to be a user-facing option.
