Keyboard Layout Design 🔠
Keyboard Layout Design 🔠
Here we study the efficiency of keyboard key layout (for example, QWERTY, Dvorak.), and also study layouts of languages such as Chinese, Japanese, Russian, that require special input methods.
Note: for hand health and input efficiency, the most important thing is the physical input device. Buy a keyboard with mechanical key switches first. [see Keyboard Key Switch Mechanisms] The second important thing is efficiency of shortcuts, namely, the key shortcuts layout. [see Design of Keybinding, Key Shortcut, Input-System]. The importance of letter layout comes after them.
