Hello,

Within the split keyboard community, the layout RSTHD is one of the most praised layouts. Made by the author of the "keygen" analyzer https://github.com/xsznix/keygen, it makes use of E on the thumb, a pretty nifty idea.

I'm not sure if you know of this layout but omitted it because of the E on the thumb, but I would be very interested to see how it performs!

Some other E on thumb layouts: https://precondition.github.io/pressing-e-with-the-thumb
I would also be very interested in https://github.com/lydell/anishtro

Finally, I'm actually using a modded version of the-1 to type this! I moved stuff around as a matter of preference and to add the E on thumb, but if you are interested, here it is:

Thanks for making such an excellent layout analyzer! I'm particularly pleased with how the-1 performs 😉

i did a little write-up here using your kb evaluator with minor mods to add a thumb row so i could run it against my unorthodox BEAKL variants -- i believe the 4 additional lines plus config file changes accomplished what i wanted!

Just wanted to express my appreciation of your work.

If there are any corrections i should make to my blog entry regarding kb-layout-evaluation (misrepresentation, incorrect assumptions, etc.), please let me know, otherwise, please close this non-issue report!

Whole ANSI keyboard, English and code.

Thanks. Ian

There's a Discord dedicated to layouts: https://discord.gg/2qq8qmDtFf

I open this issue to review the popular layouts on there and add them.

For example:

Where is it from?

The link leads to a reddit thread that doesn't show much info on it or who authored it.

Hello

I came across this layout, it looks different from Colemak and puts the punctuation on the center columns instead of the outer columns, as well as arrange the marks differently. It says it favors splats instead of alternating hands.

Any chance you could evaluate it? I am also looking at writing English (mostly), French (sometimes) and Spanish (rarely)
