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).

00Key a 75% Keyboard
I only use keyboards running QMK or ZMK, so:
My Caps Lock key is a Control/Escape key (when tapped it behave like a Escape, when hold it's Control), and my left Control is a one shot layer switch key [1], which means I tap LCtrl once, and then press Caps Lock + 5 to get Ctrl+F5. Doable with single hand and more ergonomic as I have an unusually small hand.

Principles for Keyboard Layouts (2022)
I agree that reduced finger movement is a crucial step in achieving typing efficiency. This is nicely solved by mod tap modifiers in QMK/ZMK[1] where key acts as a char when tapped and as a layer while pressed.

Debugging a Failing Hotkey
If you have a keyboard that runs QMK firmware[0] with the VIA[1] feature enabled[2], then there is a convenient testing app available from the same place you customize your keys [3].

Just setting up my first corne layout. It will take a while for me to get used to this wow... It's taking so long to type. Attached is my layout, and I mainly use c# on visual studio. Any concerns/advice/suggestions are welcome. It will take a while for me to reply on this thing though.. haha..
I made a layout that I'm happy with. Spanish is my native language, so it has characters like the accents and 'ñ', but it's meant to be used for programming as well. Visual Studio uses a lot of Ctrl and Ctrl + Shift shortcuts, so I left them in the same place as the default Corne layout so I can press them both with my pinkie finger. Perhaps some of the ideas are useful to you.

Adafruit Feather RP2040 with USB Type A Host as a QMK converter board?
Also, it would be possible to do this for the RP2040. However, it needs some work to get working. but for example: https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/pull/20999
-
If anyone knows of a good tutorial on how to make this tft display useful on a board controlled by an rp2040 and flashed with qmk configurator, I would be most grateful if you could point me in that direction. Gracias!
Ok, it's an ST7735, not too different from the ST7789. You should be able to get running by looking at their files in the QMK repo and going from there. You should also check their resources page.
