The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

The T-34/2 keyboard layout
This makes it hard to find alt layouts that feel comfortable with Vim. I've tried RSTHD, BEAKL 15, ISRT, and a couple failed attempts at designing my own layout with xsznix's optimizer. Maybe I am just picky. I currently use Dvorak, which has nice j k positions, but of course it is an old layout that is beat in many metrics by more recent layouts.

what is the best way to lay out the keyboard keys?
There are also tools to optimise the layout based on the text & rules you like, for example: https://github.com/xsznix/keygen.

Best keyboard layout analyzer from corpus (I bulid my own.)?
In addition to KLA, check out the ADNW Optimising keyboard layouts program (C++). If you're into Rust, look at the RSTHD keygen. Note that they all have their own peculiarities/biases and none of them should be used blindly. Understand what their various e.g. penalties are and tweak their code/configs to better match your personal needs and corpus.

Designing a keyboard layout to use certain finger(s) less
I forked xsznix/keygen (origin of RSTHD layout), tweaked it with my own weightings as well as generally playing around with the code a bit, and here’s what came out:
- Working on an optimizer, and this layout came out

Auto-generated keyboard layouts: Do they exist? Would they be good?
It's computationally intensive task and it takes time to optimize layout, people spend weeks on full optimizations, hours and days in more simple cases. There are several optimizers like carpalx, opt, keygen etc.
- Share your keyboard layouts, here is my iris layout

What is the most efficient keyboard layout?
For instance the RSTHD creater has created a rust program that optimizes a layout using efforts for certain keys: https://github.com/xsznix/keygen There are other similar programs out there as well.

Here is also my script (in Python), if you are interested.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing keygen and layout-optimisation you can also consider the following projects:
genkey - The layout analyzer and generator used to create Semimak
halmak - The final version of the AI designed keyboard layout
Workman - Workman keyboard layout
opt - A sophisticated keyboard layout optimizer by Andreas Wettstein. Found here: 509.ch/opt.htm & adnw.de where you can also find the reference wordlists (Wortlisten) for german & english
keyboards - A split keyboard layout, optimized for Portuguese, English, working with numbers and software programming with VIM plugins.
keygen - An(other) algorithm for generating optimal keyboard layouts.
a200 - A simple, spreadsheet-like layout analyzer
