> I get where you're coming from and it'd definitely agree that the average keyboards has strongly converged on a standardized layout. They didn't converge: that was my whole point. They never diverged (significantly) from the original typewriter. All of the letter keys are in the same relative position. Where to place function and return was a new question (the typewriter didn't have those), so naturally that aspect actually had variance until converging on a few standards. Take one look at a dactyl, and you can see what I mean.
