Hej!
I have all my symbol characters easily accessible from the normal A-Z keys using a third shift state. It's awesome, and works with any keyboard layout (QWERTY, or even Swedish QWERTY are all fine, as is Dvorak, Colemak etc). Typing a previously uncomfortable sequence like "for (int i = 0; i < count; ++i)" is even pleasant now.
It takes about two weeks to get used to. If you try it, make sure the third shift state can be accessed from either hand (i.e. you have to have left and right keys, just like with shift or control).
I wasn't aware of NEO2 so I developed my own symbol layout using a genetic algorithm running over my code corpus, then adjusting to taste.
