But why is it not a German keyboard layout?

eldain@feddit.nl · 2 pts · 2y (5 replies)

It is, I'm using it: https://www.neo-layout.org/

It is just not able to break the habit of typewriter compatibility.

They were asking why the heatmaps pictures in OP were not superimposed on a German keyboard layout.

They were not asking why no one has made a keyboard layout out of the heatmaps data :)

Just thought I'd clarify because you're basically having two different conversations at this point

Ups, I see my confusion. Thanks.

That one is fitting the pictures even less

German layout is QWERTZ while English is QWERTY and your neo layout is neither

I know, but it used the above heatmap to optimize for speed by putting the hottest keys for German on the baseline. It is not the standard keyboard, I learned to use it decades ago when I was a little German high school nerd and had too much time.

A million words doesn't sound like a lot

Deykun@kbin.social · 23 pts · 2y (3 replies)

To clarify, it is not the total number of words but rather the number of unique words considered. Imho a million of unique words is okay. A bigger concern for me would be that words on Wikipedia can be overly specific.

That million words sounds like a lot.

Have you considered a similarity search approach? They would handle your oddly specific synonym issue

Deykun@kbin.social · 1 pts · 2y

I only have a prespellechecked list of words from here: http://www.aaabbb.de/WordList/WordList_en.php

GBU_28@lemm.ee · 11 pts · 2y (3 replies)

Oh? Name all of them.

It's incomplete, as you will only finde 95% of words used on ich_iel.

A source: https://deykun.github.io/diffle-lang/de?p=about-language (It has tooltips displaying percentages for other letters)

Anzahl der Buchstaben in einem Wort

(Number of letters in a word)

For this metric, Wikipedia might not be a representative dataset. Wikipedia uses many technical terms and composite words which tend to be longer than words that are more common in an everyday dialect.

Great project! I really like your design language! Though it would be nice if there was a dark mode and if it supported prefers-color-scheme.

Deykun@kbin.social · 2 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Thanks. It should read prefers-color-scheme. I have dark mode by default, but it's also possible to set dark/light mode too.

d_k_bo@feddit.de · 1 pts · 2y

Oh, somehow I missed the theme setting. I tried both firefox and chromium and got the light theme by default despite having my system/browser settings set to prefer a dark theme.

Deykun@kbin.social · 1 pts · 2y

There were some comments on Reddit suggesting that cutting the dataset at 15 and removing 40% of words was not the best move. I have locally built a version with the limit set to 30.

For the interested:
