Still crappy layout...

A keyboard layout must be shared, who cares if Dvorak is better when no one use it, it's something like a keyboard's Esperanto, a good idea with almost no use in the real world.A true evolution is like the difference between QWERTY and Dvorak
Wouldn't call it Esperanto, more like if there was more logical and easier version of English.The Solutor wrote:You forgot UK and Ireland, they are English speaking people and are not comfortable with the ANSI layout.earlyberd wrote:I'm going to have to side with Minskleip.

If it's ansi it's functionaly inferior to iso ;D Which is only my opinion ofc...A true evolution is like the difference between QWERTY and Dvorak

Has anyone made layout which is equaly optimized for every language in the world? Or even for all the languages which use standard latin-alphapeth? Or all extensions of it?
That's simply a matter of them not being familiar with the ANSI layout. A couple of days using it and they'd be fine. All that really changes is the positions of the pipe, "" and @ symbols. In fact, anyone in the UK using an Apple product is already using a hybrid of ANSI and ISO anyway since the Macbook keyboard and Apple Wireless keyboard have a skinny ISO return key and the pipe symbol replaces where the far left of the ANSI enter key would be and the "" and @ symbols are in ANSI layout, even on a UK/ISO board/MBP.The Solutor wrote:You forgot UK and Ireland, they are English speaking people and are not comfortable with the ANSI layout.
Surely is matter of being used, but here we are, usually, speaking about comfortable typing, and about some 100€ priced keyboards, so I consider the lack of a decent layout a defect.That's simply a matter of them not being familiar with the ANSI layout.
I called it Esperanto not because being the supposedly perfect layout, but because no one use it, and its impact is almost zeroEkaros wrote:

People in the UK and Ireland would have no problem with switching to ANSI as it's just a matter of getting used to the repositioning of a couple of keys. But they use BS. Things only get problematic when you move to JIS and similar languages as you've got to account for thousands of moon-runes. Also, being decent is subjective and doesn't make a keyboard layout defective. Having used ISO and ANSI, I much prefer the ANSI standard and wouldn't go back to using ISO unless there was a particular keyboard I wanted that wasn't available in ANSI.The Solutor wrote:Surely is matter of being used, but here we are, usually, speaking about comfortable typing, and about some 100€ priced keyboards, so I consider the lack of a decent layout a defect.That's simply a matter of them not being familiar with the ANSI layout.
BTW the I from ISO stands for international, while the A from ANSI stand just for American, so I consider the latter the wrong one.
