QWERTY-Flip: The better keyboard layout your fingers already know


10 most frequent letters in English are ETAOINSRHL. This layout gets most of those letters onto the home row while making use of existing muscle memory.

I prefer the simplicity of QWERTY-Flip which brings 8 of the top 10 letters onto the home row, but because I suspect some people may want to try and get the remaining 2, I also made Spin and Twist. Each adds one of the remaining top 10 letters to the home row, at the cost of making it harder to re-use existing muscle memory.
