No, you arent.
Ive
done away with colours because they don't present a clear benefit. At best they are a half/half by visualizing hacks.
Be it F-keys. Or modifiers that dont exist outside of their own reality.
Colours instead of placement are a detriment to overall clarity, because what they really do is explain something again.
In a way that isn't found on non-toy keyboards. You lose a lot of customers there, because professional is a concern.
Toy keyboard colouring is at best something that can be tolerated. Also it costs more to produce.
Why does it matter if the fields dont? The difference just means there is competition over how to inflate the score with things that all layouts have, not actual difference or real perception.
Bullshit in, bullshit out.
I know you basically only care about P+2, L+2 being available for mapping åæø as dedicated primary keys, and having as few labels as possible. You obviously don't need a comparison table for that.
Most of us have less clear-cut priorities.
It is not very polite to say that your opinion is the only thing that matters while our opinion is "bullshit".
Most of "us" make things that are incompatible "us" in a greater sense than a handful of people.
I care about efficiency, potential, and not screwing people over, things which are irrelevant to the scheme of things in the matrix.
Look at the argument you presented, you take complex issues, muddle them together, and come out with simplistic assumptions.
To just throw your argument overboard: Did you notice that shift is actually in the way of æ, why do you think that is? Efficiency for english, so thats atleast one competing concern. Having as few labels as possible you could just do that, and not care about anyone. Ironically this is the type of assumption your matrix employs.
That less is better, and that no concerns are in between. Not that any amount of symbols is a concerns with the rating employed, but:
It doesnt matter where symbols are, because its irrelevant where things belong, the difference between different concepts and areas likewise. I guess that makes it a question of esoterica that you can just ignore.
My opinion, or personal opinion doesn't matter, its by default impossible to out-do the layouts already presented. Even adding buttons wouldnt help. The only way to come out with higher numbers is for the originator to game the system by changing the weights after having uploaded yet another similar design. Not at all questioning the validity in, or out, in doing so.
You _cant_ do better, and if you do better in reality, you are punished for it in the matrix world.
Which is where I am really baffled, its blatantly obvious, impervious to critique, and locked into belief.
Presenting an argument, from an overview-point of view, is a question of not forgetting anything, not about making the most defensive apologist portrayal.
For some reason the very basic nature of how a keyboard/typewriter works, and is known to work, is discredited by many of those who make layouts.
Some of which don't even speak anything but English... I wouldnt bring this up if there was any argument to latch onto.
It really irks me that people who don't use dedicated letters can throw away the wish of _over half the concerned voters_ _when its compatible with the other half_.
Without even explaining what there is to gain, and forever trying to make it seem as if its something to do with me or Norwegian.
Employing the most elitist designs I have seen on any keyboard. Not at all seeming bothered to even try it on someone who isn't as technical, or a novice user.
I may not be the most advanced user around, but i dislike the pandora layout with a passion. I didnt think it could get any worse, and to its credit its limited by keys, but some things manage to make it seem preferable.
Opinion into thin air is worthless, discussion is worthwhile. Avoiding that and pointing to biased opinions in a matrix that cant be critiqued, nor corrected, is bullshit. It baffles me even more that value can be perceived in it. Even if all the things ive raised issues with in this thread was incorporated, it wouldnt even begin to describe the lack of overview. It wouldnt be a logical order, and it would be far from complete. Asking people to vote then, is just begging for a reason to produce flawed arguments.
If things change in incompatible ways every week, and you hear yourself saying "you can just", when you know that people "just cant", maybe its time to go back to the drawing-board and employ a little bit of rationality.
If it doesn't make sense overall, its not balanced. And its not about questioning what that process really is, lift the sights high enough to tell other people what you dislike about their designs, and you are bound to get some new impulses.
