    Conclusion / synthesis of the keyboard poll results

    Trying to mimic a full desktop keyboard isn't the best way. As I've said somewhere else, the function should dictate the form first: typing sentences and coding as well as possible on a handheld with our thumbs. Some things are going to have to be given priority over other things originally, if...

    Horror films for someone that 'can't be scared' ..?

    Forgot to mention 2001's Jeepers Creepers. My mother considers it one of the scariest movies ever made. Definitely a creepy film to watch at night.  :)

    Keymat Layout - the Final Poll!

    Actually, I view the second keyboard Shift as a user mappable key if the person doesn't need it for Shifting. As modifications go, it's far easier with a layout with two keyboard Shifts to remap a secondary Shift to something else than work a layout with only one single keyboard Shift key. If...

    Keymat Layout - the Final Poll!

    Just so you know, Meta + n becomes the ñ in my layouts. You're already covered.  :)

    Keymat Layout - the Final Poll!

    This post is not only directed at rygD.  ;) The reality is with two keyboard Shift keys, one of these can be mapped away to whatever else someone wants if they don't like/need two keyboard Shift keys. They can turn this "extra" Shift key to anything of their heart's desire. Use your...

    Keymat Layout - the Final Poll!

    What key is that you feel you're missing out on that you need this wasted spare button for? If you have one, why can't you remap the Shift key on the right side later to this vital missing key you need so badly so that others won't be shortchanged?  :mellow:

    Keymat Layout - the Final Poll!

    Remember not everyone's fingers can reach those low corners so easily while thumb typing, and people have different "styles" when using keyboards. Essentially forcing all people to use the Shoulder button for basic text entry isn't so inviting.  :mellow: As for using this sticky Shift business...

    Keymat Layout - the Final Poll!

    Okay, I worked on these layouts today after having read every bit of this thread and integrated some of what I and others liked. They look pretty good to my eyes but we'll see how this all comes to fruition after this Monday. There are two characteristic layouts here with two versions of each...

    If the keyboard Shift is sticky all of us could get along with one of them. I haven't read any indication they'll be a sticky keyboard Shift.

    Keymat Layout - the Final Poll!

    It depends on the user if it's excessive. An individual that uses the Shoulder Shift finds two keyboard Shifts superfluous(yet they could remap it easily away to something else they feel is missing from them), but if they the user does not use the Shoulder Shift(many don't) for thumb typing as...

    Keymat Layout - the Final Poll!

    The symbols on the left in my 8.0 layout in my sig I consider more important to more people than the ones I placed more over on the right half. As for ( and ), take away the shoulder Shift, which is how some use the Pyra, and see how strong your favored layout becomes where you have a hard time...

    Keymat Layout - the Final Poll!

    Disqualifiers: - 3, 8 and 9 have issues with their modifiers. Therefore they fail my acceptance criteria. - 5 and 10 need to remove their extra shift keys - 8 and 9 need to adjust their quadruple alt. Strong layouts - 1 scores good, I prefer the regular ,< .> vs the way chosen and some...

    Keymat Layout - the Final Poll!

    Maybe your well is dry creatively but others aren't. We shouldn't be delusional here and place too much weight in this poll or as you see it, distort things in your head, by thinking in terms of curbing favor in the vote. Resigning our thinking to what is behind or just in front of us will only...

    Ban people working on the layouts from arbitrarily exchanging their thoughts with one another. Brilliant.  :rolleyes:

    Keymat Layout - the Final Poll!

    ^ I seem to have a shadow stalking me on this board. Must be a lucky number day. We need more attempts like yours, but you may want to recirculate some of the symbols, like - + _ = as they are exiled too close to the middle. Also, braces ( and ) on Shift 9 and 0 still unreachable with left...

    Keymat Layout - the Final Poll!

    Strangely misguided. If the user presses the keyboard Fn/Meta key with their right thumb but the symbol they want is too far to reach with their left thumb, like ? or / in some of these proposals, they must use their same right thumb again to create the symbol. It's not efficient for one thumb...
