You mean this part?

I'd say it looks fairly good. Not sure what to do about the EU bigram but for L you could move it to another index finger position.
With the Wide mod, the accent characters go in the middle for the index fingers to use, so the pinkies are spared that work.

To get a good AltGr position on almost all keyboards, use the Wide ergo mod (see my sig)! As mentioned, this will also work to your pinky finger's advantage.

Are you saying that you'd rather type Spanish with QWERTY than with Colemak? ¿Que desafinada, yo penso? jejeje [no, I don't really know Spanish and maybe that was all wrong...]

Sorry I don't post often. Things are busy in a good way right now. I did try Dvorak but found it bad for my needs, for some of the reasons mentioned previously on the forum and website, etc. I am starting to use Colemak again on a Microsoft Natural Ergonomic 4000, which I made some more space for in my setup. I like the placement of Alt+GR, which makes it a lot less painful for typing Spanish and other languages. One thing I've found is that I still have Colemak muscle memory. I've played with Colemak for a long time, but always to maintain 50 to 60 WPM. I am curious, did anyone here have to abandon Qwerty to make the switch?
On a side note, I am drafting a small post on alternative keyboard layouts and screen reader behavior that may be of interest to some here.
On the technical side, I'm not working on any PKL variants at this time. If I decide to make one, it will be posted under Technical.
Sorry for the lack of posts. I really should try to post a bit more on here.

Those probably wouldn't work on my end. I'm using an Ansi board. Aren't your mods for ISO boards?
I tend to stick with the default Colemak as it's a consistent experience across all devices.

The idea of looking to the Curl mods was mostly to point to the discussion there about the index positions: These can be interchanged freely without doing much to the bigram statistics of Colemak, and any modifications like that are quite easily learnt once you know Colemak since no letters change fingers that way. There are differences of course (such as 'knee' having become one of the most fun words to type with Curl!), but one can achieve much with little using this trick.

The trouble with using an ergonomic keyboard is that you will tend to get used to that keyboard itself and will not be able to use another kind of keyboard easily. That is why I got rid of my Microsoft Ergonomic 4000. I decided that if I was to be proficient on any kind of keyboard, I would need to use the standard keyboards.

Not sure how ergonomic the "Microsoft Ergonomic 4000" actually is. But leaving that aside...

The trouble with this philosophy is that you go through life always accepting something worse than is necessary. By the same token, you could say, I would never eat at nice restaurants because I would get used to the good quality food, and then I would be disappointed when eating a cheap burger. The solution would not be to live on cheap burgers!

Of course, if you *need* to use other people's standard keyboards all the time then you make a legitimate point. But maybe you could get one that is portable and programmable and take it with you everywhere..?

I've no idea how I could make a video of myself typing, but yeah. A home position on ASDF(V) and (M)KL;' (Wide-Angle-DH mods) lets me keep straight and relaxed wrists and those finger motions don't seem awkward to me at least – unless you're talking about the most rarely used keys in which case some upper-row keys are a little awkward but nothing major. Using the DH mod means that the center column is less in use and the separation between D and H on my layout is 5.7 cm which feels like it's enough for me. Wrist strain is more about angles and twists than pure separation I think.

You're certainly right in that. Otherwise we'd still be typing QWERTY. But as you can see that's not what I'm advocating.

Hmm, it seems that this is actually quite a big problem. Mind you I still can't imagine getting rid of a keyboard which I was happy with in order to use something I knew to be significantly worse. It would rankle too much and cause me to think of dodgy burgers :P

But then, if I knew I needed to use my laptop while travelling a lot, I would factor that in to my keyboard buying decision and get one that still allowed moderately similar operation. The Ergo Pro I recently got fits this compromise fairly well in being a nice keyboard but with still with a moderately conventional layout.

Maybe you could try to adapt the layout on your laptop keyboard to more closely resemble that of the Truly Ergonomic?  For example, with the wide and angle mods, the difference between the TE and the laptop may be less severe, and the wide mod in particular gives you buttons in the centre which could become your backspace and enter and whatnot. Also, what I really like about the using an Extend layer, is those troublesome keys like delete and enter are no longer in special places away from the main hand positions, which means those keys can become almost independent of physical hardware anyway.

At least the TypeMatrix is quite small and portable so in that case it would be possible to carry it around. Ideally laptop keyboards would pluggable components so that you could replace them with one of any design, but sadly that isn't likely to happen :(
