Thank you so much for this layout! I have one of these keyboards except USB and I never used it much... until now! I am curious, how did you find this? Did you go through a list of all the keyboard layouts in the world? Did you have to go to Japan to buy the notebook?

No they sold it in germany on ebay and I have here on my desktop a truly ergonomic keyboard and read much about keyboard ergonomics and how good it is to use your strongest finger for typing to not get eventualy RSI.

Most stuff I learned about keyboard layouts I learned from Xah Lee's website:

its a old Thinkpad X220, which they refurbish and when I saw that on ebay with the many thumb keys I thought that could be cool :)

its funny I just checked out your profile and what did I see: linux python and a own youtube gui.

Thats so funny... I was till I got into emacs also all in python guy, of course I do love Linux and my main project at the moment is well not exactly a youtube-gui but a kodi-remote (for emacs) that also can send youtube links to kodi :)
