      It’s inefficient, there are many alternate layouts that are “better”. I feel like AI is going to give us auto-fill that makes the keyboard efficiency less important though.

        How is it “inefficient”? There are many keyboard layouts out there for different languages. DVORAK also exists, which supposedly is better.

        I’d argue that the mode of entry of inefficient, not the layout. There’s a lot of movement for a finger to reach a key. Much of that movement could be reduced. An example thereof is the CharaChorder

          I read OP’s comment as indicating they wanted tech to move to alternative layouts from QWERTY, and the argument is always improved wpm.

          I type slow as hell, I don’t have a dog in the fight.
