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

I have tried using ZMK Studio v0.3.1 to define an alterative alphabet layout and the ergonomics of doing this was horrilbe with lots of scrolling.

I think a major problem is the "Keypress" bahaviour has all the keys in one list, prefixed for disambiguation. This means letter Y is "Keyboard Y" and is impossible to select with a few key presses because Y is in the word keyboard so the search is near useless:

Describe the solution you'd like

Split the list into at least three: keyboard [should be first and default], keypad, and consumer. Then drop the prefixes in the names shown, leaving just "A" to "Z".

Describe alternatives you've considered

(A) Do this with a new dropdown before the current key list

(B) Split the single bahaviour drop down entry "Keypress" into three ("Keypress (main keyboard)", "Keypress (keypad)", and "Keypress (Consumer keys)" or similar).

Additional context

You might later want to go further in splitting this up?
