dear lazyweb,
anyone know where i can get an svg of a keyboard where the object id's are the letters on the keys?
i looked at onboard (their svg is .. interesting, though it does have the object id's i was hoping for), gok uses custom xml files (pfft) and "on screen keyboard svg" gives none of the instant lovin' i've come to demand of online search engines.
so, my two minute attention span for finding things on the internet having been spent, i decided to ask all of you. one of you must have a url, right? =)
hugs and kisses, aseigo.

Sorry Aaron; only one link, and not to what you're looking for, bbut it might help a little:
Google for keyboard with SVG file extensions
Hmm. Blogger doesn't accept "gg:..." uris. Someone should have serious words with google ;)
@lee: yeah, i tried that. lots of svg's, but none with the keys that have the element ids i'm looking for =)
Did you search on openclipart.org?
Did this in minutes, missing special chars, if more is needed please tell.

In case nobody provides something better. here's my png with x keycodes and button labels. Nothing fancy, but served me well. Oh, the picture is "from the internet", so use for private purposes only ;)

Complete version (special chars
got 2 or 4 digits names).

@Anonymous: That's a png you're posting, Aaron specifically requested an svg...
Also, it's of a japanese Keyboard (notice the two additional keys left and right of the space bar, these are kana-type shift-keys)
You might want to try looking around Wikimedia Commons (http://commons.wikimedia.org) -- they have a lot of SVGs that are released under open licenses (GFDL, GPL and CC are common).
Hope this helps!

man xkbprint
man pstoedit

To elaborate further on the previous comment, say you want the 104-key US layout:
xkbcomp -m pc104 /usr/share/X11/xkb/geometry/pc pc104.xkm
xkbprint pc104.xkm
pstoedit -f plot-svg pc104.ps > pc104.svg
For other layouts, look for the "xkb_geometry" keyword in {xkb-data-dir}/geometry/*
Sorry about the onboard svg output, i'll get round to fixing it some day. :)
