Argh....
Maltron?
I'd rather take Voltron...

I created my own variant of a splicing of JCUKEN (uses the cyrillic alpha) and old school Prussian....
I call PUKEn
hahaahahaha

seriously though...
and I know that seriousness and endsormeans always go hand in hand ....
but..
actually I think that really really REALLY ...someone should start adopting layouts that are sane...
Not pandering to one or another group that are fixated on perpetual layouts that are ALL damaging to the body...

I would make a suggestion ...
(since I know full well that it amounts to that...perhaps less...considering people get just as fixated on layouts and get just as entrenched in their particular cubbyhole of comfort-level ...regardless the physik damage they are doing to themselves...)
I would suggest someone...
ANYONE finally start adopting a health conscious option like Carpalx

edit:
Let me be a bit more direct in an example...
I have for most of my life since a kid now...
under my grandpa's tutelage ...
a carver, painter, harp, violin (and other sundry instruments) maker...
5 things he always cautioned me
- Eyes
- Ears
- Hands
- Mobility
- Back

overall health in general...
One could say..
but he stressed ..the need to care for the bits one tends to over abuse ..over use...and forget about...just pushing them to perform...

.a layout that is gentler on the hands ..
for me...
It means the lifespan of my hands to continue using them ...
extends years longer ...
I know artisans far younger than me who have destroyed their hands due to poor choices of their care....

Don't know about anybody else...
but a choice of aiding in deliberately crippling up my hands years in advance ...due to something easily changed ...
has never been and will never be on my agenda ..
My whole life I have been careful with making sure that I treat my body properly,



naturally ...
7 hours and counting and zero comment from anyone ...
for an approach that is a sane health based alternative...

forget even for the time being ...
such application to this qwerty project....
Carpalx is something anyone using x11 could simply download and use..
to save one's hands...



I am not at all surprised ...that there appears to be a number of closet masochists here I was unaware of...
who must be determinedly in love with their entrenched ideology that is actually physically damaging to the hands...
