The layouts are fixed in Ardour’s source-code. They cannot be changed at runtime.

What keyboard layout do you use? Can you suggest key-codes to be used for the mapping?

The relevant source-code is https://github.com/Ardour/ardour/blob/master/gtk2_ardour/piano_key_bindings.cc – I’m afraid that changing those required re-compiling Ardour.

white note of -QWERTY single- (preferences > midi ) is good

but black note If possible, stick together (E-R-T-Y-U-I-O)

@killum

but black note If possible, stick together

So a chromatic mapping on the QWE..P[] row? like

 C |C #| D |D #| E | F |F #| G |G #| A |A #| B |
 Q   W   E   R   T   Y   U   I   O   P   [   ]

Oh never mind, I misunderstood, So you prefer:

 C |C #| D |D #| E | F |F #| G |G #| A |A #| B |
 A   E   S   R   D   F   T   G   Y   H   U   J

instead of the current

 C |C #| D |D #| E | F |F #| G |G #| A |A #| B |
 A   W   S   E   D   F   T   G   Y   H   U   J

?
