Confused on which finger to use for which key on Canary
https://github.com/Apsu/Canary I don't understand the sections on row stagger and angle mod. Please could someone explain in simple terms where to rest my fingers and which finger to use for each key. Thank you so much.

2 questions that are unrelated to each other
Keyboard layouts that are worth checking out are Canary, Graphite and Semimak. From what I understand they have all been made in the last two years. I'm biased in favor of Canary as it's very similar to Colemak which made the switch easy for me and I find it really comfortable, but the only thing that really matters is your personal experience when actually typing on the layout, not all the statistics that some people obsess over endlessly.

How are the trigram stats for Canary calculated?
At https://github.com/Apsu/Canary, it's stated that Canary has 55% of all trigrams as rolls.

Colemak adapted for french (EU bigram)
Try Canary layout https://github.com/Apsu/Canary It is very similar to Colemak DH and having E and U at different fingers. But, E and O is now at the same finger, isn’t that an issue for French typing?

Well-known optimized layouts
Romak also has some very nice attributes, as do poqtea and uciea. I also find Canary to have a lot of merit.

APT (V1?) vs Engram
My current layout, Canary, wouldn't be a great fit for this board, as with the reduction of six keys from a 34-key layout, six letters would be need to be under either a combo or layer, which I'm not too comfortable with.

Home-row mods - will I get used to it?
I use hrm with canary layout, which puts the most used keys on the home row, so that means that I tap on the hrm keys the most. And I have pretty much 0 mistakes.

I type 120wpm qwerty... can colemak offer a significant improvement? (and will I lose my qwerty ability if I switch?)
The homepages for Semimak JQ and Sturdy include thoughts by their respective creators on the layouts' strengths and weaknesses, though surely with a little bias =) The Canary homepage has detailed description of its Colemak-inspired design.

Where to put 'arrow' keys (hjkl) on Canary keyboard layout?
I use Canary ortho https://github.com/Apsu/Canary
-
Vim + 360 Advantage + new layout?
Quick note about ortho vs column stagger vs row stagger when it comes to layouts: they generally don't make a difference, though sometimes you still want to make a change. This is most often with regards to upper + lower inner index vs howerow inner index, like on Canary (note the difference between the indexes of the ortho and the regular variant).

I Can Not CHOOSE Layout
I have a few layouts and can't choose between them but I am also free to other options. How to choose the best keyboard layout for the matrix keyboard (Moonlander)? I was considering: Graphite, Gallium, and CTGAP

looking for bespoke solution
I suspect you have been researching this a lot and have seen it already, but I'd look at the Graphite layout and the Nerps layout as good modern "alternation" focused layouts.

Well-known optimized layouts
I think the fact these are the only painpoints is also its selling point however, everything else felt pretty great. The ji, column my analyzer came up with took a bit of time to get used to but felt really great after a while (now also found in Graphite which I think is also really good). Both pinkies feel good in fact, and the vowel setup works really well. I alted dy, nothing else really felt worth it. lr middle is not a lot of usage for what that finger can handle but it allows str to be one stroke rather than a redirect (if you were to swap middle and ring which I don't think is quite as good).
