Hello Just joined this group because I am interested in improving keyboard layouts, generally, and that may fit in with the capsoff concept.
Congratulations to the Colemack keyboard for winning the "million dollar keyboard" prize. Great to see improvements on Qwerty, and one that folks may actually adopt. Would be great to see a hardware manufacturer promote a layout that is faster and more comfortable than qwerty. Meanwhile, here is a link to yet another improvement on Qwerty (not hard to do): www.XPeRTkeyboard.com ........... US Patent # 7,137,749 Basic principles are: - Minimize change from qwerty, so it is easy to learn & switch back & forth (leave most frequent letters where they are) - Maximize opposite hand key sequences (digraphs), by putting vowels on one side, consonants on the other - Add a 2nd E key, since it it used 13% of the time in English (one on the left side, one on the right.) I scrapped the tilde key to get a second E key, but now see the error of my ways. Seems like the capsoff key is a superior candidate for removal all the best, Jules Vogel PS - if ther eis some way to post this on the CAPSoff.org site, even though the prizes are over, let me know. Just want to get the information out there. Thx --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CAPSoff" group.
