SVG of Moonlander?
The tool is built in an unusual fashion - the images are in an adobe Illustrator file, and then exported as pngs for the separate layers. I suspect you can open the source files in AI and pull out the vectors your after. Here's the repo: https://github.com/jhelvy/splitKbCompare

ErgodoxE EZ β an ergonomic keyboard with open source firmware
I used a Kinesis Advantage as my main keyboard for 10 years. A few years ago I got an Ergodox EZ, but just couldn't get into it. I've been using a NiZ Atom68 as my main keyboard for over a year now and am rather happy with it. I have plans to build and try
These days I think that there are so many good community designed keyboards [0] that it behooves anyone who has the notion they'd like something better than a standard layout keyboard to do a bit of research and testing. For any keyboard layout it is fairly trivial to make a printout and stick it to your desk to get an impression of how it fits your hand size/shape and your preferred resting/neutral position.
Recently I've found Ben Vallack [1] to be an excellent resource on keyboard customization and his philosophy echoes my own, though he shows much more dedication to the craft and exploration of keyboarding than I could ever hope or wish to. He has an excellent series on designing and making your own keyboard [2], as well as well thought out explanations and explorations of creating and learning personalized keyboard layouts [3][4]. His more general explorations of usability in computing and beyond have been inspiring as well [5].

I'm looking for an ergonomic mechanical keyboard with Spanish keys - unicorn?
Try some split layouts on paper to get an idea https://github.com/jhelvy/splitKbCompare

Can we get a pinned discussion about key maps?
alright, i've informed jhelvy (via github issue) about my plan to move his useful tool to a wiki entry. so let us wait for some days before someone make the thread about keymap and stuff.

Split kb symbol layer for dev/vim user
I have custom alpha layers and extremely optimized symbol layers, combos and other features in my keymap. It is not designed for web development, but it is good for VIM and Java.

Hands Down variation with only 20 keys
That made me think. If I would adapt Romak for 20 keys, it would be something like this:
-
Suggest a layout for 5 column and 3 row split keyboard
But since you are a programmer, I invite you to check the fancy programmer features that I have implemented in my keymap. I still need to rework on the documentation, but you can take some inspiration from there if you decide to design your own.
-
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.

Cheapest way to try Miryoku style layout
There is also the unusual option to handwire a keyboard without soldering, as I did here, but the result might not be so reliable.

APT (V1?) vs Engram
You can see my layout here.

Beakl-HC - No more pinky and ring finger pain!
I started my own layout, Romak, using BEAKL as inspiration, with similar objectives, mostly making it more suitable for my home language and reducing the load on pinkies and indexes, concentrating in the middle and ring fingers instead. Another thing I did was to remove the top row key from both the central and pinkie columns. Later I also removed the bottom row key from the pinkies.

In need for a beginner guide
My first handwired board checks all your requirements, and I have some pictures of the process, but it is not a complete guide. It might help though. And I think the FFKB case can be great for a first handwired project.

Custom 60% layout I've been using, designed for Canadian programmers. Critiques please!
Really nice work, congrats. My custom layout is designed for both Portuguese and English, and I have some of the same ideas implemented, with similar reasoning. I also have some programming features that remind yours, but I preferred to remap hjkl instead.

Best way to build hot swap into a handwire?
I've used two different options in my builds. You can see them in the build logs: FFKB and Rommana.
