kb-layout-evaluation VS keygen

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

I used one of the forks of xsznix's optimizer (I believe it was Tretygon/keygen) which adds a useful "SWAPPABLE_MAP" configuration that specifies which key positions the simulated annealing is allowed to change. I used this to freeze j and k in their Dvorak positions while optimizing the rest of the keys.

I've had a hard time finding tools that let me analyze what keys I use most often. I've found https://github.com/Tretygon/keygen and http://mkweb.bcgsc.ca/carpalx/ thanks to this sub, but they both don't claim to analyze special characters, which are important to me as a software developer. Are there any off-the-shelf tools for analyzing a keyboard layout? I'm not interested in writing my own keylogger. I'm on macOS, for reference. I'd also be curious about Linux tools as well!

if you use a keyboard layout analyzer or evolutionary based generator like (https://github.com/Tretygon/keygen) , to create/analyze keymaps, is that not more based on scientific facts then?
