- childintime 2mo agoExactly, so do away with the zoo of national keyboards, any language should be typable on the standard QWERTY keyboard.
- Hackbraten 2mo agoQWERTY is just one national layout among many. It’s not the “standard” by any meaningful metric. Why not let people use whatever layout they like?
- numpad0 2mo agowell, that's actually how East Asian input usually work, so...
- childintime 2mo agoRight. You do it. So why can't we?
- numpad0 2mo agoFrankly, I think it is about time Latin languages should get predictive typing assist on desktop. It's probably within possibility for Mythos/Fable class LLMs to one-shot it out of a tweet-length description and full code access for existing IMEs like Mozc.
- quasigod 2mo agoI really don't think it effects your ability to do that. I've used a split keyboard as my primary keyboard for many years, it has not at all effected my ability to use a standard keyboard. As soon as my hands are on a typical layout the muscle memory kicks in.
