Whiteboard
It would be very nice if it automatically changes the exercises depending on your keyboard layout.
It's possible to detect the current keyboard layout in some situations with QtGui.QApplicat
It must be possible to find keyboard layout files, since there are a lot of them included in e.g. Ubuntu and they must be under a free license.

Turns out that's a lot harder than it looks, even worse to do it cross-platform. The current implementation just includes qwerty, colemak and dvorak and is fairly easy extensible. Should include azerty at least too before final release, and the user should be able to choose.
