I've been contemplating switching to Colemak for years but I'm ultimately reluctant to because most of my day is is split between typing in English and typing in a second language (for which I can only assume it wasn't optimised for).
Does anyone know how the cited benefit analysis is done? Is there a github project I can just feed a dictionary to to and get a 'benefit' score from?
Also, just to echo a couple of the other comments here - switching to an ergonomic keyboard without row offsets (ie. something like an ergodox[1] or planck[2]) is a huge, huge leap in ergonomics and comfort. Personally I feel the discussion we should really be having is about moving away from the pointless typewriter-hammer-collision-avoiding row offsets we're all forced to suffer, and towards something that reflects the range of motion of our fingers.

- zamadatix 7y agoI ended up on carpalx after learning dvorak and colemak. It's a generated layout like you are looking for and the code is available http://mkweb.bcgsc.ca/carpalx/ http://mkweb.bcgsc.ca/carpalx/. You should be able to just swap the dictionaries with whatever you like and get a layout "for you".
