Figure out what to do with trying to score an ngram that can't be typed by the layout #13

Closed sandsq closed 3 months ago

If we simply pass on it, it will contribute 0 to the effort score, thus making the layout seem better even though it isn't actually able to type the ngram in question

Maybe add some fixed, large penalty (larger than any feasible sequence could score) and make a note at the end of the process notifying the user that some ngrams are not typeable

Or maybe just throw an error

I think throw an error so that one can't accidentally optimize for a layout but miss keys that are needed for typing the particular dataset
