I currently use a Colemak keyboard layout; this means that the WASD keys on my keyboard are actually WARS. The same can apply to other layouts, too; WASD is ZQSD on AZERTY. It would be nice to be able to ensure that someone is pressing the same *positions* on a keyboard without having to mess with keyboard layouts.

I don't know how easy that this would be as far as programming goes, but it would be useful in the long run. It would also be useful to have both layout-dependent and layout-independent input, for when you wish to type as well.
