I use a variant of the Neo-Layout called Bone. It's an ergonomic layout optimized for German and English text. The base layer is already different (see the linked page), but I also really like it for programming, since there's an entire layer with easily accessible symbols:
I should try that out. I've been using DVORAK for a while but have been thinking of switching to NEO
Oh, yeah you should. I mean I'd advice against it, but since you already know the pain of switching layouts… sure, go ahead! :D
I prefer Bone over Neo, Neo has quite broad software support though. I'm using Bone on Linux and macOS without any issues.
Could you please give a few insights into why bone over neo? I've used neo now for a few years, curious if it would be a fun extension to switch again!
(dead thread I know, but whatever)
It's very similar, more like an evolution from Neo than a revolution. They switched a few keys and if you're starting fresh I think I'd recommend Bone, but if you already know Neo I'm not sure switching is worth it. It could be fun though (if you consider learning a new layout fun ^^).
Especially because the thread was dead your answer is highly appreciated!
Appreciate it <3
