BEAKL is actually an acronym for Balanced Effortless Advanced Keyboard Layout. Being yet another attempt to find the most efficient and ergonomic keyboard layout, the development of this experimental layout emphasises the use of our stronger fingers (index, middle and ring finger) to lead the typing rhythm in order to achieve an overall effortless typing experience. The reason for this is that they are faster, more versatile, and less prone to fatigue (exposed through Beakl's foundational effort grid), which allows us typists to achieve high speeds with less effort when compared to layouts that disregard this point.

How is it easy to press direction with pinky and moving your finger to middle column? Link to research about effociency and comfort of typing.

You can read more about the history and theory here (https://deskthority.net/wiki/BEAKL) or on their main website.

For English text/prose, I think there might be better layouts such as [a Hands Down variant](alanreiser.com/handsdown/), BEAKL variants, etc., etc.

It tries to do a lot of things, most notably finger use and finger strength. You can read more about it in these 2 link if you're interested. https://deskthority.net/wiki/BEAKL https://ieants.cc/beakl/index.php#beakl

There are many options, some of Carpalx layouts, Beakl, Engram, Halmak and HIEAMTSRN all have vowels on one side, but otherwise have very little in common and kind of take 5 different approaches to layout optimization.

Interesting. Do you have a KLA (json) profile I could download to test against the likes of BEAKL-15 etc. Other than going for a very cryptic layout like "X1 Ergolinear" (that differentiate between lower case and upper case letter layout - making it very hard to learn), I could not find layout that beats BEAKL-15 on English and programming text. And when I say text, I mean a lot of variety - not just one set of text. I took the avg wins of a lot of text. I also use BEAKL-15 with my Ergodox keyboard layout in KLA.

Here are two keymaps that will give you an idea of some of the possibilities: https://github.com/rayduck/pnohty/blob/master/README.md and https://github.com/manna-harbour/miryoku_babel

Great! The ZMK versions are available in Miryoku Babel under tangled/zmk/. Miryoku ZMK should be released next month (you can monitor progress in the issue), but you're welcome to use the beta anytime, just let me know.

Ok, this should do it. Just copy the generated files to the Miryoku implementation, e.g. for Miryoku QMK copy https://github.com/manna-harbour/miryoku_babel/tree/rsthd-tmp/tangled/qmk to https://github.com/manna-harbour/miryoku_qmk/tree/miryoku/users/manna-harbour_miryoku/miryoku_babel and build with MIRYOKU_ALPHAS=RSTHD

Done: https://github.com/manna-harbour/miryoku_babel/pull/1

BEAKL-15 will be an option in Miryoku as soon as I get around to merging this PR.
