By how much? I've heard that it's as little as 2% improvement in speed.. But it's not speed that's really the issue. Very few people type as fast as they possibly can, all the time. Most people have to think a bit, and then write a bit, and then think a bit, and then write a bit, and then edit a bit, and then get a cup of coffee... So what is the goal with our keyboard layouts? Avoid RSI? Wouldn't junking the mouse do more along those lines? Most of my problems occur when I use the mouse a lot. Better posture, frequent short breaks, split keyboards, etc would also probably do more than changing a keyboard layout. > Modern genetic algorithms show that. > http://www.visi.com/~pmk/evolved.html Heh. Cute. Can't say I'd consider that "proof"... -- _ |\_ \| -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
