This PR refactors keyboard handling to use physical key mappings for all gameplay input, ensuring controls remain consistent across different OS keyboard layouts.
I'd like to give out an ENORMOUS thank you to @Neo for his very generous help on getting MacOS caps lock behaviour working, but as well for taking the time for extensive testing, planning and discussions, and finally for writing this PR message :) Keep being awsome pal 👊
### New Features :
* **New**: Gameplay input now uses physical key positions instead of OS layouts, ensuring the same physical key triggers the same action across keyboard layouts.
* Key rebinding stores physical keys and config compatibility is preserved, with physical keys now the primary gameplay‑binding format.
* Physical‑key model is now consistent across platforms, including updated SDL/headless behavior.
* **Added**: New Input setting "Reset keybinds to default", with a new confirmation dialog appears when changes are being overwritten.
* **Fractured**: Keyboard‑related locales to the newly created `KeyboardLayout.json`.
* New input device settings/actions use clearer labels and tooltips.
* UI Key Labels (such as Left Shift and Right Shift) are more accurate and standardized, with clearer symbols, consistent naming, dynamic learning of printable labels from real key events, and persistence across restarts.
### Improvements :
* **Reduced**: Incorrect key labels by using observed host symbols instead of language assumptions.
* **Reduced**: Stuck/stale keys by using binary pressed‑key tracking, fixing rebinding/gameplay paths, better held‑key recovery after focus changes, and clearing keyboard state when Ryujinx/settings windows lose focus.
* **Improved**: Device handling → refreshing no longer clears the selector, disconnect fallback is consistent, reconnect restores controllers automatically, and the UI avoids invalid/empty device states.
* **Improved**: Async input‑assignment callbacks are now guarded when switching views/devices, preventing stale callbacks from hitting detached views.
* **Adjusted**: Input visualiser to be more robust when switching sources or handling controller disconnect/reconnect, without needing to reopen settings.
* **Improved**: Modification (changes to input controls) tracking
* Rebinding to the same value, reverting to original config, restoring defaults without differences, or reloading equivalent profiles no longer leaves Player marked as modified.
* **Reduced**: Keyboard LED noise in logs and added optional UI keyboard‑state/rebinding diagnostics.
### Fixes :
* **Special Keys**:
* AltGr and other special keys behave correctly, including proper Ctrl+Alt → AltRight handling and more consistent normalization of special/synthetic keys.
* Caps Lock is now reliably bindable on all platforms (Windows/Linux register every press; macOS every other).
* **Fixed**: Certain cases where keyboard input broke after pointer interactions
### Current Limitations
These are planned on being fixed/improved upon in future PRs:
* Hotkeys still use semantic (Key) mappings.
* Software keyboard / text input still uses the semantic path
* Printable key labels may fall back to defaults until observed from host input.
* Full semantic/physical split currently implemented only in the Avalonia driver.

Four SDL3 gamepad fixes, all affecting real users with Switch controllers.
**Crash on reconnect / broken motion** — `GetFeaturesFlag()` was calling `SDL_DestroyProperties()` on properties owned by SDL internally, causing a use-after-free. This breaks gyro after the first read and crashes on reconnect. Fix: just don't destroy them.
**Thread safety in `GetGamepads()`** — was locking the wrong objects and holding locks across `yield` boundaries, which is undefined behavior with `System.Threading.Lock`. Fix: snapshot IDs under `_lock`, iterate outside it.
**Rumble NPE on disconnect** — `UpdateRumble()` called `_gamepad.Rumble()` without a null check; throws if the controller disconnects mid-update. Fix: `_gamepad?.Rumble(...)`.
**Linux: HIDAPI conflicts with `hid_nintendo`** — when the `hid_nintendo` kernel module is loaded, it provides evdev nodes for both the gamepad and IMU that SDL3's evdev backend correctly combines. HIDAPI conflicts with it, breaking gyro and wireless hotplug. Fix: detect `/sys/module/hid_nintendo` at startup and disable HIDAPI for Switch controllers automatically. Overridable via `SDL_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI_SWITCH=1`.
Tested with an 8BitDo Ultimate Bluetooth Controller on Linux.
