ASTH-NEOI

If you use this layout, please let me know!

Ergonomic keyboard layout influenced by QWERTY, Colemak DH and Workman.

The distinguishing feature of ASTH-NEOI is frequent rolling of common English bigrams and trigrams. It achieves this by leveraging the somewhat novel technique of deliberately shifting the hand position away from the usual touch-typing position as a matter of habit. This way, more n-grams can be rolled.

After about 10 hours of practice over a few weeks I get speeds around 60–80 WPM. (My QWERTY speed is around 100–120 WPM.)

Are keyboard layouts even copyrightable?
