This is the feedback to another thing like this just it was a program not a widget:
"That's one of the stupidest things I've ever seen.
Or you can just go into system preferences select International go to the Input Menu tab check the box next to show input menu... then you can just click the drop down next to the clock and select Show Keyboard Viewer when ever you want instead of searching for and going to the program then opening it when you need it and saves download time and space on your computer too."
This is actually a little faster I think,why you chose the option key... no idea but this can be easier then selecting a drop down and clicking Show Keyboard Viewer because you can simply press the Fkey or like i have it in a hot corner move your mouse to the corner then click seems to be faster to me... still has dl time and takes space though. Better then KeyViewer though.
