Changes implemented
Why is the Q on the other side?
The Q change allows ; to have a better position during
quotes but lessening movement of the left pinky in text
and also adding a q-u bigram roll.
Less distance for the left pinky while scoring better
in analyzers. Similar ideas of improving bigrams are
throughout the layout.
What's the rationale behind the V-K swap?
This is to break up the n-k same finger bigram found
in Colemak-DH for words such as think and know.
This move is only possible by removing the boundary
of keeping QWERTY shortcuts in their original positions.
Why has the punctuation been rearranged?
The e-, bigram is fairly common when typing English.
This mod helps to further reduce same finger bigrams.
There's also reduced movement of the 'e' and 'a' columns
because of the punctuation moves, regardless how seemingly
small.
Symbols modification
The symbols in the top right of the keyboard have been
rearranged. This makes the commonly used hyphen easier
to reach. The +/= key has also been placed in a better
position.
