Halo Reach. Every time I replay it, it hits harder.

For medium to advanced users, I believe the best experience is derived from installing a distro that gives you just a tty and building up from there. Debian's packages are too old. Arch's too new lol, I don't wanna have to think about my updates at all. Void is the perfect middle ground between those, installs similar to Debian, and even boots faster than both :)
(Gentoo is a no no)
I found this keymap's symbol layer to be the perfect middleground between similarity to a standard keyboard and plain better symbol placement. The right side makes more sense the more you look at it (and simulate typing on it)
I'd love to help you iterate a layout based on your B point. I made one based on those ideas with Keyboard Designer and definitely noticed improvements over the original MessageEase layout, but I'd like to get your input too.

That's the layout I made. I took Dvorak as a starting point, then applied your ideas where I saw fit, and later swaped a few keys around.
Holding # opens the keyboard settings btw. I find it a lot better to have larger backspace, symbols and enter keys than having a dedicated settings key (that I accidently press way too often in Thumb-Key)
Bear in mind Keyboard Designer doesn't allow actions on diagonal slides, so that's why you might notice them missing
thanks for using Leebra!
