Some keys are used much more frequently than others, or are frequently used in
combinations that are inconvenient right now. An example is anything requiring
picking an item from inventory - it frequently requires the letter command, a
switch to the symbols keyboard for '?', and a switch back to the letter
keyboard for entry of a letter and/or pressing space to move through a
multi-page list.
A custom keyboard layout might have spacebar (for paging), letters afiqsxz and
the shift key, symbols .,@:, and ^P for reviewing those easy-to-miss messages.
Navigation keys could be skipped, since the edges of the screen can be used.
Some commands (a, q, z) might require shifting to another keyboard to select an
item, but even so it'd be fewer keyboard shifts since it'd be (at worst)
"a?(keyboardshift)(letter)"
