  Keyboard layout at AllExperts
A syllabic chord keyboard is a keyboard with three sets of keys that are used to type in a single syllable with one (combined) keystroke.
Some keyboard layouts for non-Roman alphabetic scripts, most notably the Greek layout, are based on the QWERTY layout, in that glyphs are assigned as far as possible to keys that bear similar-sounding or appearing glyphs in QWERTY.
Most non-Roman keyboard layouts have the capacity to be used to input Roman letters as well as the script of the language, for example, when typing in URLs or names.

 Unicode Keyboards for Mac OS
Keyboard layouts may not be assigned to the Chinese, Japanese, or Korean scripts.
Also on the plus side, a keyboard layout assigned to the "Unicode" script allows you to switch between it and your main Roman keyboard with command-space (the keyboard shortcut for switching between layouts of the same script is the more cumbersome command-option-space).
The keyboard is immediately available to all applications that launch after this point; you have to quit and relaunch running applications (including the Finder) for them to recognize the keyboard.

 carpalx - keyboard layout optimizer
The majority of keyboards in English-speaking countries are arranged according to the QWERTY keyboard layout.
This keyboard layout is significantly different from QWERTY, in that vowels are all on home-row and mapped to each of the fingers of the left hand in the "aoeui" conformation (replaces "asdfg").
Punctuation on the Dvorak keyboard is moved from the inaccessible bottom-right hand corner of the keyboard, serviced by the inherently weak pinky on the QWERTY keyboard, to the more open top-left corner where the "qwer" keys are found.

 Technical Note TN2056: Installable Keyboard Layouts
Keyboards have ID numbers which uniquely identify them; these are not shown to the end user.
This is in whatever encoding the keyboard file itself is in (e.g., UTF-8 or UTF-16), not the encoding corresponding to the script of the keyboard.
It is possible for a keyboard associated with a script to generate Unicode strings that cannot be converted to the associated encoding.

 The Arensito Keyboard Layout   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Is the layout that maximizes the probability for using neighbour fingers in succession (and keeps the probability of sequences like y-d or z-l diminishingly low).
Note that these layouts are mostly independent, thus it would be possible to allow for the arensito letter layout with the standard qwerty/dvorak programming character row on the top.
The layout has to be implemented on a keyboard, and I am sorry to say that the physical constraints of the standard keyboard makes this impossible.

 Keyboard Layout
The DVORAK layout was proposed in 1932 as a faster and more efficient layout (Dvorak, 1943).
While it can be shown to be an improvement over the QWERTY layout, the magnitude of the advantages have not been shown sufficient to justify retrofitting keyboards and retraining typists.
Key forces for current highproduction keyboards are in the range of 0.40 to 1.25 newtons with key displacements of 3 to 5 mm.

 The Dvorak Keyboard
If a typist were to hit two keys on the same side of the keyboard in rapid succession, the second lever on its way up would hit the first on its way down, the keys would become stuck together, and the typist would have to stop typing and unstick the keys.
Dvorak attributed the increase in accuracy to the fact that on keyboard, that the most common digraphs (two-letter combinations, such as "ed") in English would occur with a minimum of "hurdling" (having to jump over a key as if it were a hurdle), and would use stronger fingers rather than weaker ones.
I believe that Dvorak's claims that his layout requires less "hurdling" over keys and less total finger travel are true, and that this is more or less directly responsible for the reduction in RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury) symptoms that I have experienced.

 The Dvorak Keyboard and You
The alphabetical layout of the keys was not a good one; the type bars that struck the paper jammed often.
The end result was the awkward and confusing QWERTY keyboard layout (named for the first six letters on the top row), which appeared on the first commercially produced typewriter in 1873.
The Dvorak keyboard layout was created in the 1930s by Dr. August Dvorak, a professor at the University of Washington, and William L. Dealey, his brother-in-law.

 Dvorak Keyboard
And that measure does not take into account other features of the Dvorak keyboard such as its propensity to alternate hands since all the vowels are on the left side of the home row and there is a tendency in English for vowels and consonants to alternate within words.
Keyboard configuration, evidently, is intimately bound to self-perpetuating social convention, and the problem of inertia, which has cost us dearly in lost opportunities for ameliorating physical and economic harms, must be solved socially.
First, as a national standard, all computer keyboard manufacturers should be required to enhance their keycaps with a second set of symbols in the Dvorak configuration.

 83-Key PC/XT Keyboard Layout
In looking at this keyboard one must bear in mind that we are going back almost 20 years, an eternity in the computer industry (which is arguably only about 50 years old period).

From a layout standpoint, however, there are many serious problems with the original 83-key layout, which caused many typists a great deal of frustration.

the keyboard is ok as it is, but i think the skinners should lose the tacky brown keyboard button graphics and go for something much nicer.

i think the current keyboard looks a hell of a lot nicer, but agree that it is perhaps not quite as optimal to use if it was square layed out.

However, modifying keyboard layouts—let alone creating entirely new keyboard layouts, such as for a new script—by directly editing the XML text is tedious and error-prone.
