Layout Sheet

reminiscience edited this page Aug 13, 2026 · 1 revision

The layout sheet

A printable HTML document showing every layer of a layout. Two ways to get one:

  • Tray menu → "Create layout sheet" – shows exactly what the running program currently has loaded, and opens the file in your browser.
  • Command lineananeo-tool sheet [layout], without a running AnaNeo. Without a layout name it generates one sheet per layout. See Compose tool.

The file is entirely self-contained: no external references, no network needed. One keyboard, one tab per layer, switched by clicking. When printing – print preview is enough – or with JavaScript disabled, it instead stacks all layers below each other. That is the print form.

The screenshots throughout this wiki are made from exactly this sheet.

How to read it

Marking Meaning
accent bar on the key, code point below produces a character
dimmed, with a key name function key
filled background modifier
dashed outline unassigned

The code point is the truth, the label is only the icon. They can differ deliberately: the keypad's multiply key is labelled × but types *. When checking a remapping, read the code point.

The dashed outlines are the work list. They are where a layer still has room – reserve rather than oversight, on layers 11, 12, 19 and 20 especially.

The same reading applies to the on-screen keyboard under the Sachlich colour scheme, which is the default. See On-screen keyboard.

What it is good for

  • Checking a remapping. After editing layouts.json, the sheet is the fastest way to see whether the cell landed where you meant it to.
  • Learning a block. Print the page for one block and keep it next to the keyboard. The print form stacks the layers, so a themed block comes out as one page with all its layers.
  • Reporting a problem. The sheet shows what AnaNeo believes the layout to be, which is the useful thing to compare against what you typed.
