All, I have been comparing identifier spelling using various metrics.
The Keyboard metric is based on the distance of the keys on a keyboard from the key typed to obtain a given letter. A consequence of using a measure based on single key strokes is that upper case letters are assigned a zero distance from their corresponding lower case letter, e.g., the keyboard distance between m and M is zero (its Levenstein distance is one). Does anybody know of keyboard metrics that take multiple key strokes into account (in my case the shift key)? derek -- Derek M Jones tel: +44 (0) 1252 520 667 Knowledge Software Ltd mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Applications Standards Conformance Testing http://www.knosof.co.uk ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PPIG Discuss List ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Discuss admin: http://limitlessmail.net/mailman/listinfo/discuss Announce admin: http://limitlessmail.net/mailman/listinfo/announce PPIG Discuss archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/discuss%40ppig.org/
