Re:Your keyboard layout is broken

This is all fine and good, but besides the mechanical legacy myths there is also the need to use diacritics, symbols, etc. I intend to try something different (an http://artsey.io left-handed keyboard, which seems like a decent thing to try using over Summer break with a minimalist on the go setup), but I’m much more interested in 60% QWERTY and a good window manager as a productivity booster.

The placement of punctuation is the reason I believe Dvorak is better than most other optimized layouts. They may be optimal for their metrics, but their metrics are bad.
I have been thinking about trying a one-handed layout lately, the one you link is intriguing!
