Yeah, there are some limitations to doing this in browser. I have elaborated on the issues at the project website.

CarpalX layouts fixed, French layouts added (azerty,bepo)

Project moved to its own github repository: https://github.com/mikekuehn/keyboard-layouts/

Davkol: Good idea; I'll look into the source of the keyboard-layout-creator and see...

Muirium: Haha, why not. Home row on the bottom, wow. I wonder how bad it would be if you rearranged the rows though - zxkg on the bottom, pwfu on the top, dhia in the middle.

Because ctrl+alt+shift+win are usually in a cluster its implied that you can chord them together with the arrow keys. , . / - ; perhaps can be relocated to a more ergo position in the WASD area...

Nice layout. I have been working on some reduced matrix layouts as well. A couple questions/thoughts: 1. There is a lot of redundancy (arrows on both hands, thumb keys). Is that by design? I can see how you could get around any bad thumb combos in this arrangement, by hitting two adjacent keys with ...
