Description

### Description of the new feature / enhancement

Hello there,

There is already an official microsoft tool for modufying keyboards, the microsoft keyboard layout creator.
Can we include this functionality in the keyboard manager, which would give quite more control than remapping?

### Scenario when this would be used?

Creating custom keyboard layouts. For example EURKey integration.

### Supporting information

The issue names Keyboard Manager and Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator but no files, tests, or entry points. First define the integration scope and expected EURKey/custom-layout workflow; done requires an agreed feature boundary and validation plan.
