When switching a large number of inputs or when using 128 xkeys remembering what source is on what number Key can be a problem.
I would suggest that each input source be allowed to turn on/off and change the opacity of a full screen input number.

This feature would allow you to quickly see the input that corresponds to your controller.

Ideally the ultimate request would be to change the attributes of the numbers such as size, font, outline, etc.
BUT I would just be happy to have numbers and a bonus would be the ability to change the opacity.

A feature that would be required would to turn on or off these overlays on the Multiview screen as well.

Here is a mock up sample.

I concur, this would be extremely helpful! The ability to turn the numbers off and on would be nice, as well. But I would prefer default on.

Jstobbe when I posted this on our facebook group, I received 100% support for this idea so I think it has merit.
One user suggested it should have a shortcut to turn them on or off which I thought was a must.

Lets hope more get behind this idea and vmix considers putting it on the development road map.

For anyone using XKeys or even keyboard Function keys (F1-12) this would make my life so much easier.
Again seems like a simply request but would benefit so many users that use controllers.
