Just because you could apply a different meaning to a character doesn't change the fact that some meaning, once learned, is more helpful than only relying on physical positions.
Combining meaning with a physical position is even more superior than purely relying on one approach.
And to me, it was far easier to switch layout while relying on mnemonics than on key position, and this continues to be true even when I add new keybindings now when I switch between multiple layouts. Maybe other brains works differently though.

It does precisely that - because "once learned" muscle memory / spatial orientation would beat your conscious efforts to map ambiguous semantic rules every time since they're more common/primitive/intuitive ("move finger up to move up") > And to me, it was far easier to switch layout while relying on mnemonics than on key position So wait, you've seriously tried home row cursor movements in different layouts, then seriously tried moving to keycap-based cursor, and found home row keys to be worse despite their objective ergonomic benefit that the alternative layouts tout as their benefit over qwertys?
- lawn 3y agoI feel like you're almost being deliberately obtuse when you're ignoring the context that it's about learning the movements in the first place. This isn't productive in any way.
