Add Keyviz Plugin

[h-jangra]

Plugin

• Id: h-jangra/keyviz
• New plugin
• Update to an existing plugin (version bumped in plugin.toml)

What it does

Displays typed keys and modifier combinations as translucent keycaps on an overlay HUD. Includes a background event listener service, bar widget, shortcut toggle, and IPC commands.

External dependencies

• python3: Runs the background input listener script (scripts/listener.py), which reads Linux input events from /dev/input/event*. Requires read access to these devices, typically through the input group.

Testing

• Tested on Niri
• Tested on Hyprland
• Tested on Sway
• Tested on another compositor:
• Noctalia version tested against: v5.0.0
• Plugin API level: 13

Checklist

• The directory name matches the part of id after the / in plugin.toml exactly.
• It ships plugin.toml, README.md, thumbnail.webp, and translations/en.json.
• README.md follows the [README template](https://github.com/noctalia-dev/community-plugins/blob/main/README_TEMPLATE.md), documents every entry id and dependency, and includes exact panel IPC commands and launcher prefixes where applicable.
• I created thumbnail.webp with the [thumbnail generator](https://assets.noctalia.dev/plugins/thumbnail-generator.html).
• version follows semver and is bumped in this PR; plugin_api is the oldest API level this plugin requires.
• Every non-English translation in this PR uses a locale supported by Noctalia core, and I can read, write, and understand that language well enough to review and maintain it (no unreviewed machine/LLM translations).
• I did not edit catalog.toml; CI generates it.
• This PR touches exactly one plugin directory.

Code review attestation

• The code is readable and not obfuscated, minified, or generated.
• It does not download and execute remote code.
• Every network call, filesystem write, and spawned process is something the description above accounts for.
• I have the right to publish this code under the license declared in plugin.toml.
