### physicalKeyboardHighlight
When set to true, this option adds the special class (`hg-selectedButton`) to the key that matches the event.
For example, when you press the `a` key, that key in simple-keyboard will have the special class until the key is released.
Enable highlighting of keys pressed on physical keyboard.
For functional keys such as `shift`, note that the key's `event.code` is used. In that instance, pressing the left key will result in the code `ShiftLeft`. Therefore, the key must be named `{shiftleft}`.
[Click here](https://github.com/hodgef/simple-keyboard/blob/master/src/lib/services/Utilities.js#L58) for some of keys supported out of the box.
If in doubt, you can also set the `debug` option to `true`.

### addButtonTheme
Adds an entry to the `buttonTheme`. Basically a way to add a class to a button.
Unlike the `buttonTheme` property, which replaces entries, `addButtonTheme` creates entries or modifies existing ones.
```js

```
### removeButtonTheme
Removes an entry to the `buttonTheme`. Basically a way to remove a class previously added to a button through `buttonTheme` or `addButtonTheme`.
Unlike the `buttonTheme` property, which replaces entries, `removeButtonTheme` removes entries or modifies existing ones.
```js
this.keyboard.removeButtonTheme("b c", "myClass1 myClass2");
