Description

### Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When adding padding to layout keys along a row, it can take a number of trials to get the keys of one row to align with another. It would be helpful if we could view the horizontal X coordinates of the key corners; only the right corner is really necessary.

### Describe the solution you'd like

When a key is selected in the Touch Layout view, display its right side X-coordinate in the status bar. This would be analogous to the "total" width value shown along the right side of a row.

Alternatively, perhaps a better idea, present the value in the left pane that has the key details.
