I've seen keyboard layout things that just show the key plus an explanation of what the key or combination of keys does. I think it'd be alot nicer than just a keyboard pic with lines going everywhere. Not bashing it, but it's just that V2 looked so cluttered that it might be overwhelming for people to figure out.

I already said this!
I can't call it heightmap Cause a normal heightmap looks like this:

How does colors make heightmap different name?

I dont have colorized heightmap on, because its ugly and confusing...

Its still a heightmap, even when you use any kind of colors to display it.

With that kind of logic i could say 3d game aint 3d game because i see it as 2d on my screen... its not about how you see it, its about WHAT it SHOWS. Like 3d game shows 3d environments... etc... and heightmap shows heightmap, even when its displayed in a "weird" way.

Other name to that could be "altitude map".
