+Here you can add custom physical layouts.
+
+Layouts can be created and edited in Keyboard Layout Editor:
+https://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com
+
+Once you've created the layout, export it in JSON format (Download > Download JSON)
+and put the JSON file in this directory.
+
+Keep in mind that key labels should adhere to the standard US QWERTY layout,
+so that the game could correctly infer their keycodes.
+You can configure your keyboard's actual labels in the game itself.
