I’m trying out the miryoku layout. Let’s see if I last more than 30 seconds.

    This is the first time hearing someone call it bad, do you have any links explaining why it’s bad compared to others?

      I don’t have any links on hand. I could probably find some later. It’s discussed on r/keyboard_layouts. Dvorak has a lot of SFB compared to newer alt layouts, and L on a pinky above S is kinda sus lol

      I should add that Dvorak is still leagues better than qwerty

      @lambchop I wouldn’t call the Miryoku layout bad. I think has some elegance and consistency to it, but I strongly prefer one shot modifiers, which Miryoku doesn’t have room for. I created an alternate layout that includes a sixth column on each hand for rarely-used or optional keys. My “markstos” layout is also in the QMK repo for Corne keyboards. There are several other differences as well! I have a page about it here:

        The layout referred to above is Dvorak, not Miryoku. Thanks for sharing your OSM layout tho, I’ll check it out. Always room to improve mine lol :p
