  • 11279 Keyboard Comparison
    11279 Keyboard Comparison After spending several weeks typing using the right-handed Dvorak keyboard layout, the coach (in- troduced in the previous problem) started to wonder if it really is any better. He decided to devise a method to verify this. The coach would like to compare typing on the right-handed Dvorak keyboard against using a QWERTY keyboard with two hands and with one hand. A crude, but effective way to compare keyboard layouts is to measure the total distance the typing fingers must travel in order to type a certain passage of text. Can you write a program to help the coach perform this experiment? The distance travelled by a finger will be measured from the centre of its home key to the centreof the target key and back. In order to simplify the computations, we pretend that every key is a perfect square with unit length sides, and that all keys are laid out on a perfect grid (even though in reality they are usually staggered). The diagrams below show the straightened keyboards; see the previous problem for shift-modified diagrams. The QWERTY and right!handed Dvorak keyboard layouts arranged on perfect grids. On the QWERTY keyboard, the home keys are “ASDFJKL;” for two hands and “FGHJ” for one hand. On the Dvorak keyboard, the home keys are “EHTD”. A key is always struck by the finger from the nearest home key. For example, the distances for ‘S’ would be 0, 4, and 2 for the two-hand QWERTY, one-hand QWERTY, and Dvorak keyboards, respectively. Likewise, the distances for ‘C’ would be 2, 2.828427…, and 2, respectively.

  • Thorough Software Layout Machine Analysis
    Thorough Software Layout Machine Analysis Kristian Tichota March 10, 2021 0.1 Abstract This analysis investigates some claims about typing ergonomics using three large corpora of varying language complexities and SteveP's fork of the Patorjk analyzer. It ranks the software layouts by the scores assigned by the analyzer. It concludes that for the layouts tested, variations in language complexity have no significant impact on typing ergonomics on Ergodox keyboards while a higher language complexity results in significantly higher scores on ANSI keyboards. Even when punctu- ation is present, all of the tested alternative layouts score significantly higher than QWERTY. All layouts tested score significantly higher on Ergodox than ANSI keyboards. According to the test method, Colemak-DH and MTGAP score the highest on ANSI and Ergodox keyboards. 1 0.2 Introduction There have been many attempts to create alternative software layouts to improve upon QWERTY, the two most notable of which are Dvorak [1] and Colemak [2]. The majority of popular layouts are based on Colemak and/or Dvorak. Despite the growing number of claims regarding typing ergonomics, such as Workman's claim that same finger utilization does not influence ergonomics [3], or that ergonomic keyboards do not influence ergonomics [4], there has not been enough scientific research [5] and the bulk of machine analysis has not been sufficiently thorough. The goal of this analysis is to thoroughly investigate some of those claims while avoiding pitfalls such as inadequate sample size, inaccurate analyzer, poor interpretation of results, and bias. 0.2.1 Primary claims to be investigated: 1. Alternative layouts are only good for common English 2.

  • Extended Bangla Keyboard
    SUST Journal of Science and Technology, Vol. 21, No. 1, 2014; P: 47-56 Extended Bangla Keyboard (Submitted: August 28, 2010; Accepted for Publication: January 21, 2014) M. R. Selim Department of Computer Science & Engineering, Shahjalal University of Science & Technology, Bangladesh E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Bangla language has a big size character set. To fit all the characters within the existing keyboards, all the Bangla fixed keyboard layouts use several typing layers. Since using characters of a non-default typing layer requires pressing an extra key, it slows down the overall typing speed significantly. In this paper, to reduce the effect of multilayer typing, we propose to add some extra keys in the keyboards used by the Bangla language users. We show quantitatively the efficiency improvement of using such extended keyboards using various metrics. The metrics make use of the character frequency statistics derived from a corpus consisting of more than 250 million Bangla words. Our analysis shows that it is possible to save more than 8% keystrokes and 20% typing time and finger movements by adding only 6 extra keys in the currently used Bijoy keyboard. Keywords: Keyboard layout, Keystrokes, Typing time, Finger travelling distance, Bangla input method, Visual layout, Mechanical layout. 1. Introduction Most of the languages in the world including English have small size alphabets. On the other hand size of the Bangla alphabet is relatively big. About 300 unique characters are used in Bangla language [1]. Among them 39 consonants and 11 vowels are in graphic form. Besides, it has 3 (mostly used) consonants (য-ফলা, র-ফলা, েরফ) and 10 vowels in allographic (called কা’র) form [1].

Background: Alternative keyboards have been shown to offer ergonomic benefits over the conventional, single-plane QWERTY keyboard design, but productivity-related challenges may hinder their widespread acceptance.
