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

While over engineering a key layout today, I went to add a new symbols layer. To get to the symbols layer I would hold my existing &mo _ (where _ is a "layers that's mostly numbers") and my dedicated Shift key. While getting all that configured, I accidentally tried typing as if it was set up. And it worked. If &mo n + $kp N1 gives me 1 then &kp LSHFT + &mo _ + $kp N1 gives me !. In retrospect that was obvious, that is what the normal keyboard does.

Without assistance, I find it tricky to design the layout. Everyone does that's why this tool exists. Thank you for it!

Describe alternatives you've considered
I don't know exactly what I'm asking for, some way to see "what could I type if I'd used this layer while holding this modifier".

Additional context
There is already existing assistance for this built into the app, thank you, in that the name of the key in a drop-down is "Keyboard 1 and Bang". But, when it's displayed as a layer it is just 1, so in some sense this is just #17.

Describe the solution you'd like
Perhaps a second copy of the keyboard for the "shift modified" symbols? Or a checkbox to change what's displayed on the keyboard to shift modified of the keypress?
