Today on HN I noticed a post that points out a new keyboard layout created by AI for perfect efficiency. Of course there are several keyboard layouts like standard Qwerty or Dvorak etc... https://github.com/MadRabbit/halmak Poll: 1. Qwerty, 2. Dvorak, 3. Colemak, 4. Workman, 5. Halmak

>>OP I just lost a long reply, so I'll try to sum it up. 1) querty EDIT: qwerty haha, epic fail Problems with layouts in general. 1 - they're all quite centered around English or germanic languages. 2 - apart from some places in Europe, most countries uses qwerty, if I have to use a PC other than mine on the streets, I would be quite lost because I got used to a non-conventional layout. 3 - keybindings in some apps get unreasonable bad unless you remap everything which is a lot of work and source of confusion. I think there are some cool layouts, but I'm saving my sanity and time and just sticking to qwerty.

>>1 1. Qwerty Thanks for the reply, as I tried to write this post in halmak I felt like I was using a keyboard for the first time. One thing I like about Halmak is that the punctuation is nicely in the middle and easy to catch. But I'm also sticking with qwerty.

2. Colemak Over ten years now probably. Started learning it because of wrist pain. Easily one of the most humbling experiences of my life to have my WPM drop from +100 to 12. No more wrist pain though! Chose it over something like dvoak because of its similarity to qwerty, and because it seemed at the time more readily supported on the devices I was using.

>>OP Qwerty, us-acentos (Native Spanish speaker, but the us layout it's much better than the Spanish one) with Ctrl and Caps Lock swapped over.

>>6 I am enjoying Rime IME with qwerty+stroke keys often. Still trying to learn Wubi. I do handwriting via ipad, and am still scrambling to find a decent handwriting IME for *nix. Toodloo, good pubnixians.
