(In reply to Graham Perrin from comment #0)

The proper term is keyboard map. Hence the program is named `kbdmap(1)` and
the directories are called `keymaps`.

A keyboard layout is the specific physical arrangement of keys, such as the
mechanical typewriter layout vs. Kinesis Advantage keyboard layout.
