This is hrev31031.
You need a horizontally very large Keymap window to display all keys untruncated. I'd propose to use abbreviations where possible:
CAPS LOCK -> CAPS
NUM LOCK -> NUM
CONTROL -> CTRL
OPTION -> OPT
COMMAND -> COM
PAGE ↑ -> PG ↑
PAGE ↓ -> PG ↓
It'd also be a good idea to somehow get rid of the list views to the left. But where to put it...? Below the keymap? Dunno...

Wide windows only where absolutely necessary. :)
OK, I'll wait for maybe abbreviated keys for a new screenshot for the user guide (no pressure!) and make the changes I've already done to that topic and leave it with that for the time being.
Thanks!

You're obviously not a friend of wide windows ;-)
The current state of Keymap is only a transitional one, anyway, even if the stuff on the right is in a good shape to stay (besides the dead key handling, that is).
Other than that, the plan is to merge the stuff from Keyboard, multiple keyboard support, and a keymap switcher, as well defining system wide shortcuts into one keyboard panel.
In any way, having defined abbreviations is a good idea.
