I totally agree, QWERTY (and AZERTY for French users like me) are for typewriters (I didn't get why birds should support this burden). I used to use programmer Dvorak, but for french people, it is not usable as a daily solution (missing common diacritics). Since then I swapped to BÉPO. It is probably not the best for programming however, to write a thesis it can be blessed ! On mobile I use AnySoftKeyboard (FOSS). MessagEase and artsey seem interesting but are very different approaches. Good choice to avoid any use from any other people ;-p By the way, using a BÉPO layout with an AZERTY keyboard is a very good way to avoid any bad Slack joke in company ! Thanks for these new things queuing on my "things to test" list. Kind, Alexis. >
