The Keyboard Layouter plugin for KiCad (pcbnew), originally published by Yusuke Ohta, is a fork by darakuneko. This plugin places switch footprints in the location specified by JSON of Keyboard Layout Editor.
My fork also supports Kicad 6 and LEDs - @daraku__neko.
This tool is not new, it was released three years ago, but the author confirmed that it works with pcbnew 6.0.5 (on Windows).
