Add Keys for Climate and Height Maps

Problem
I'm currently working on a project with other people, and it would be really useful if I could just send them a PNG of a map with a key, so that when I send them a climate map, I don't need to verbally explain what each part of the map is. As it currently stands, when looking at the biomes overlay, the only way to know what each of the colors means, is to mouse over them and read the informational text at the bottom of the screen.
Solution
For the Heightmap and Biomes switches in Layers, add some kind of interface feature that allows me to enable and disable a key.
Ideally, when exporting the file as an image, there would be a checkbox for including the key as part of the image, but this can be implemented later, as having a key at all, which I can screenshot, is better than none.
This key would also serve as an easy interface for implementing new features later on, such as allowing the user to select custom colors for Biomes and Heightmaps.
Hello,
For biomes you can toggle on the legend (via the Biome editor):
For Heightmap there is not feature like that, but it's planned.
Thank you, but I feel like enabling the key should be more intuitive. For me to open the biome editor to activate the biome key is not very intuitive, to the point where I had never even considered that as an option.
Yes, but it is what it is. I don't know where to place it
