Ji status report April 16th

This week was rough, since we were all sick with something different. But we did get stuff done.

This week, I looked at potential keyboard layouts. At first, I figured we could sort the most common letters, but then I realized that it would be better if we could find a setup that was already known: Dvorak. QWERTY is designed rather arbitrarily, so I figured that the ergonomically designed Dvorak would work better.

There is already a setup for right-handed Dvorak, so I figured that I could adapt it to our current keyboard.

I am a bit worried that there might be more keys than characters; while we can get some to double up, I’m worried that the hold shift toggle key never showed up in the design.
