Hi!
I’ve (already) opened the issue on GitHub and that can/should be kept for the final technical specs.
https://github.com/dessalines/thumb-key/issues/602
I’d like to open the thread here to work out and discuss any details.
The layout would use the full width and is suited for two-hand typing:
Some of my immediate questions would be:
- Does this fit the idea behind the ThumbKey app? It is for thumb typing, after all.
- How to get a good layout? The hype is on AI but people have been doing this through trial and error for a while now.
How do I pick the most-common letters from the middle row when those are the most common letters overall?
The data from Letter Frequency Analysis of Languages Using Latin Alpha, should provide some ideas as to which keys to have as touch-type (as opposed to swipe-type). However, Dvorak uses the most common keys as the middle row, so they should all be displayed. We need to define a new “middle row”, I guess.
