Whether you, like me, beleive that QAZWSX keyboards make far more sense, especially in a machine learning world, I think we all agree a layout designed to circumvent jamming typewriter keys doesn’t make sense in modern society on modern devices.

        Honestly, it’s a mere shower thought, so I didn’t come prepared with notes and statistics in hand, what I will say is the amount of screen real estate is by far the worst issue.

      Sure, and we’ve tried a lot of alternative layouts over the decades.

      None of them stuck around, by and large. Some have ultra-niche followings, sure. But overall, the latin-script world has stuck to (Q|A)WERT(Y|Z). For a reason!
