I was thinking... what if I abandoned my own layout for a bit, and tried out something that looks better than #Dvorak?
I have two contenders at the moment, #Halmak and #Engram. Neither is perfect, and I will do some modifications - I did so for Dvorak too after all, mostly on the number row.
For both Halmak and Engram, my changes would be similar. I'm pretty happy with how my symbols and numbers are laid out. What I'm looking for is alphas and punctuation.
