Interesting! I'm glad to see so many people are willing to learn a new keyboard layout. I was looking at alternative keyboard layout for touch-screens for a while, and ended up coding my own. It's based on two-thumbs input and the layout is designed for alternating between them. There are only 5 buttons on each side/thumb so you don't really miss. You can swipe for special keys like enter, backspace, symbols, emoji etc, and so you should have the whole input spectrum available. I've used it for over a year now. My friends beat me when their dictionary is on. But without it, I'm around 30% faster. For writing commands, code or formulas - it's superior, and that's why I like it. It took me about 3 weeks to get on par with a normal dictionary-less QUERTY. Learning new layouts like this takes really long as it has to go into your muscle memory before you feel comfortable. I guess that's why we're still stuck with QUERTY (which was designed to slow down typing on mechanical typewriters). It might be worth checking out for the technically-inclined. It's open source and as far as I know - patent free. See https://github.com/Adellica/Thumbkeyboard https://github.com/Adellica/Thumbkeyboard.
