I wouldn't say congrats to Eight-Bit.According to ED's twittering here, he seems enamored with Eight-Bit's "International" Pyra keyboard layout:

So, is that the Pyra keyboard layout then ED?I wouldn't say congrats to Eight-Bit.According to ED's twittering here, he seems enamored with Eight-Bit's "International" Pyra keyboard layout:

Congratulations to Eight-Bit.
I'd say congrats to anyone who discussed about it, made suggestions and created layouts.
It's a collaborative effort, I'm pretty sure you all affected each other
And condolences to everyone else...Congratulations to Eight-Bit.
Perhaps a good idea to briefly review the final layout before committing to it. Just to filter out potential mistakes or oversights.From what I've seen most of the guys working actively on these layouts are pretty good in spotting possible problems.I never said I'll use that layout completely as is.
I'll probably move a few keys around. Especially ESC, which shouldn't be up there.
No need to test, they are at the exact same position as on the Pandora, and when typing, they are easy to reachAren't those Keys on the bottom Row on the Left and Right side very Hard to reach? It's hard to reach that Place on the original Nintendo DS. Maybe ED should test it on the prototype.
Just to re-quote ED:Wait wait wait... Enter having a Fn value?
So some things may be different.I never said I'll use that layout completely as is.

So DosBox compatibility is right out?That's a pity, I was looking forward to the Fn-Shift combos.I never said I'll use that layout completely as is.

I've checked all keyboard layout linked from that google drive thing, and that one was the best so far.So DosBox compatibility is right out?That's a pity, I was looking forward to the Fn-Shift combos.I never said I'll use that layout completely as is.

What about this particular layout got the "yes" and things about other layouts got a "no"? If this is the base you now want people to work with it'd help to avoid making mistakes if we knew what mistakes were to be avoided.
They may have been just not printed . For example in my layout ßäö are there under meta in their standard positions under US-International layout.All other ones had things missing or weird layouts.
Personally I think Grench's most recent layout with its Fn layer numbers is quite usable.I cannot possibly imagine there's a layout out there that works good for normal usage and also or DOSBox
Really? No advantage? None whatsoever, despite several explanations everytime it's been posted? One more time then? Pay attention.I see it as making use of tools available to expand our options. Grench's most recent layout has an impressive international compatibility, access to all symbols which is no worse and in most cases better than other layouts, lots of room for custom remapping without breaking the displayed layout for key characters. The downside being that the number row is on the Fn layer but as a counter to that it makes it easy to Fn-lock in order to get simultaneous access to both the base numbers and the Function numbers which can be very useful in games: so a disadvantage with an advantage.I fail to see ANY advantage to crippling the keyboard layout to such a restrictive and arbitrary idea based in some arcane legacy issue
