```ts
function getKeyboardLayoutStore(): Store<KeyboardLayoutMap | null>;
```

Defined in: [keyboard-layout.ts:27](https://github.com/TanStack/hotkeys/blob/main/packages/hotkeys/src/keyboard-layout.ts#L27)

The store that holds the browser's keyboard layout once `loadKeyboardLayout`
has loaded it. Framework adapters read it to label physical bindings, so
`[KeyQ]` shows as `A` on a French AZERTY keyboard, and devtools show it.
Matching and recording never read it.

The state is `null` until the layout loads, and stays `null` where the
browser has no layout API: Firefox, Safari, servers, and cross-origin frames
without the `keyboard-map` permission. Pass the state to `formatForDisplay`
as `layoutMap` when you format labels yourself.

## Returns

`Store`\<[`KeyboardLayoutMap`](../type-aliases/KeyboardLayoutMap.md) \| `null`\>
