3-button-swap gives unexpected binding

Keyboard Manager

Steps to reproduce

The navigation keys on my keyboard are aligned in an odd sequence. The physical keys are swappable and I want to change their sequence from

[PgUp], [PgDn], [Home], [End]

to

[Home], [PgUp], [PgDn], [End]

For this I created this 3-way binding:

1. PgDn -> Home
2. Home -> PgUp
3. PgUp -> PgDn

A simple swap of Home and PgUp works as expected. Only this 3-way binding I cannot figure out.

✔️ Expected Behavior

Pressing the keys of the nav row

[PgUp], [PgDn], [Home], [End]

results in

Home, PgUp, PgDn, End

❌ Actual Behavior

Pressing the keys of the nav row

[PgUp], [PgDn], [Home], [End]

results in

PgDn, Home, PgUp, End

Ah! I figured it out! My mental model was wrong. I was thinking of "moving physical keys", not "binding keys to functions". I had to swap the columns like this:

If you would change the wording of the dialog a little? This would have worked for me:

• Key: -> Physical key:
• Mapped To: -> Mapped To Function:
• "... and then the key or shortcut..." -> "... and then the function or shortcut..."
