iowa - a keyboard layout for modern hebrew, because none really exist
I downloaded https://github.com/O-X-E-Y/oxeylyzer with the idea of adding hebrew, but turns out it's already there! thanks @O_X_E_Y

How are the trigram stats for Canary calculated?
As a corpus, I'm using https://github.com/O-X-E-Y/oxeylyzer/blob/main/static/language_data/english.json, filtered to just the letters. (And all punctuation-including trigrams account for just 5.2% of all trigrams, so removing these is too small to explain the discrepancy in my calculations.)

Is there a program, or website to calculate an optimal layout given input parameters?

Non-ЙЦУКЕН layout for Ukrainian language
My own, oxeylyzer. I just threw in a Ukrainian corpus (the mixed 1M from here), messed around with what should be on the main 3x10 and kinda let it rip with some different weights tbh

Help finding layout for multiple languages
Regarding evaluating, comparing and potentially even optimizing layouts, I would recommend my keyboard layout optimizer.

Critique my layout! Switching from Dvorak to an auto-generated layout optimized for an otholinear keyboard
I recently got a new ergonomic keyboard, after just typing on my laptop for years. I've used an ErgoDox before, so I went with the Moonlander. While configuring the keyboard and playing with the location of the spacebar, I realized that putting it on the right hand side resulted in a really bad balance between the two hands – it seemed like dvorak was way more right-hand dominant, and that was confirmed when I started looking into it. Went down the rabbit hole of alternate keyboard layouts, and found this repo: https://github.com/dariogoetz/keyboard_layout_optimizer . You can specify the physical configuration of your keyboard and provide a sample text, and it will generate layouts for you, using simulated annealing or a genetic algorithm. Here's a screenshot of the generated layout, along with Dvorak on the bottom:

Genetically Optimized Keyboard Layout
That's very interesting. I tried a genetic algorithm myself for my optimizer. In the end, I removed the crossover part, but mainly because I did not understand, how exactly it worked :)

Looking for optimal layout for specific key choices/Customizable layout generator
You can find the code for the evaluator here. Apart from my own set of metrics, it includes the ones used in KLAnext and also the ones from Oxey's layout playground (with some caveats).

A little help with my overthinking please
Regarding an evaluator with support for multiple layers that can be user-configured, supports "classical" hold layers as well as one-shot layers, and modifiers on "any key" (think home-row mods), I can advertise my own evaluator/optimizer https://github.com/dariogoetz/keyboard_layout_optimizer Saves you some time on a new project ;)

Yet another keyboard layout evaluator/optimizer
I want to introduce a pet project of mine that I have been working on in the last year - a keyboard layout evaluator/optimizer: https://github.com/dariogoetz/keyboard_layout_optimizer

What are some alternatives?
