BigBagKbdTrixXKB VS kb-layout-evaluation

I hope that someone can help me with the a problem using the XKB Colemak layouts from https://github.com/DreymaR/BigBagKbdTrixXKB. I am using Ubuntu MATE 20.04, and have configured qwerty and vanilla Colemak UK layouts in the MATE preferences. My XKB options include the Extend layer (triggered on Left Windows key) and swapping Caps Lock with Left Control.

DreymaR's Big Bag of XKB tricks implements an Extend layer with XKB (I haven't tried it tho)

Maybe you can get Portuguese bigrams frequency and run this: https://github.com/bclnr/kb-layout-evaluation I don’t know how different it is from French or Spanish.

I wrote a layout analyzer at some point and that was the reasoning.

And indeed quantitative studies tend to show that Colemak can be very good for other languages, for instance French: https://github.com/bclnr/kb-layout-evaluation (although you need to modify it slightly to add accented characters to reasonable spots). Interestingly enough, French variant of Qwerty (Azerty) is much worse than Colemak or anything.

A while ago I coded a little comparison between layouts to help me with that decision, you might find it useful: https://github.com/bclnr/kb-layout-evaluation

On that topic some might be interested in this little analysis:

These scoring systems already exist. Here's the first one I found: https://github.com/bclnr/kb-layout-evaluation
