Layouts not correct (fingering) on the website analyzer #12

Open rpnfan opened 2 weeks ago

I noted (no pun intended) that many layouts in the website analyzer are with the wrong fingering. Also for standard keyboard it is not clear if that is evaluated for traditional or angle-mod fingering. How would you choose the latter?

Examples for layouts where the keys/ fingering is not correct are: AdnW and Koy on all column-staggered layouts except the moonlander where it is correct. The top row is shifted one the left. For example with KOY the K is on the qwerty-q position and not on the Tab-key position!

The website uses configurations with traditional fingering by default. The fingering can be adjusted in the "keyboard" configuration. There, you find a table keyboard->fingers defining which key shall be hit with which finger.

I am unsure, what you mean with "wrong fingering". Could you elaborate? The number rows on some layout configs ("ortho" and "lily57") are shifted to the left by one key. This may have been the respective author's intention (the keyboard configs are rather personal and these two are not authored by me). Regarding your example with the KOY "K" key, I am confused. I see the "K" key above the "H" key in all keyboard configurations. Is that not correct? The "ß", however, needs to move to the "tab" position for some of the layouts because the ISO keyboards have one more key on the top right. So one of the right-most keys on the top row need to move somewhere else. I chose the "tab" key location for that "somewhere else".
