I hate the previous versions of IE like IE6 because it hangs frequently. * Internet Explorer 8 is very good because it is as stable as Opera.

I'm not absolutely sure but 6 have been almost completely defined and 8 are planned. So you can type math symbols, Greek, Cyrillic and a lot of other letters (German ones, like small and capital ß (sharp s) etc.) The first three modifiers would suffice for writing standard texts, I think. Neo is already included in the German standard keyboard layouts of Linux. More infos at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyboard_layout#Neo http://www.neo-layout.org/ (unfortunately in German, for obvious reasons) I can imagine there’s quite a lot of programming necessary for neo 2.0 has a lot of modifiers (shift, ctrl, Mod 3 (shift lock key) etc.).

I'll look into it though. It appears the punctuation characters for the layout don't match up with the standard keyboard layouts (ex: @ and 2 don't go together). Though I could easily plug that into my calculation code, it would screw up the graphics I'm using. I'd either have to generate the images on the fly or have a set just for that layout, and I'm not very good at graphic design. I'd have to think a while for how I'd do it properly.

This is the best alternative for typing of German texts and also very nice for programming. Would be nice to see the neo 2.0 keyboard layout here.

It's kind of interesting that Colemak seems to come out the best most of the time. I think I may have put too much importance in what the index and middle fingers type, so I may tweak things in the next version. However, it may be that Colemak is just the best layout of the 5 presented.
