Could we have a human readable table with translations from internal key names like , to standard keyboard names? Just those names that differ should go into the table of course. That's a good suggestion. It should be phrased in terms of "often used as labels on many keyboards" etc., to avoid giving the impression that this is standard; it is common among many keyboards, but it is by no means standard (there is no standard for such labels AFAIK).
