Using the portable keyboard layout, I have put the number row on the home row. So using your thumb you press the AltGr key while pressing the required key.
So AltGr + a = 1
AltGr + r = 2
AltGr + s = 3
AltGr + t = 4
AltGr + d = 5
AltGr + h = 6
AltGr + n = 7
AltGr + e = 8
AltGr + i = 9
AltGr + o = 0
Tell me what you people think about putting the number row on the home row?
