"Blocked" should be "No Action"

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. We currently use "Blocked" as the label for the empty key, not very accurate, and not very friendly, either.

Describe the solution you'd like Ideally, we would have "No Action" as label, on two rows, but not with a wide gap between them, like we'd have if we used the current top and primary label parts.

On this note, what is the difference between "transparent" and "Blocked", it would be nice to have an explanation in the ui.

Not quite sure how, but I agree, we should have that explained somewhere discoverable within Chrysalis.

The difference is that if a key is Transparent on a layer, when encountered, it will be looked up from any layer activated before the most recently activated one, while Blocked will simply be a no-op. So, if you have Layer 0 and Layer 1 active, and a key is Transparent on L1, it will be looked up from L0 instead. If it's Blocked on L1, then no matter what it is on L0, it will not be looked up.
