Limited punctuation version?

[adudenamedruby]

Heya. I'm just switching to this layout (only two days in so it's early days) from Dvorak, but I'm curious: how do you think this layout would change/evolve if, in terms of punctuation, you only had to worry about single quote, double quote, period, comma, and semicolon? Would you still have them in the same location? I have a symbols layer so I don't need to worry about other symbols, which means I could press all these without taking pressing shift into account

For now, I've switched - and " (so, pressing shift gives me -, and " without), and / and ; but I'm not at all a keyboard designer, so I wanted to get your thoughts on that.

Thanks! :)

Hi, you could consider this Galite layout, which has virtually identical ergonomics, and has standard punctuation.
