I have made a layout for the tablet
I will be glad if you consider it as part of the application,
or use it as a starting point

I will definitely refine the layout, but it is already convenient for typing messages and programming

I'd personally like to see a tablet layout myself as I use a chuwi hi10x. However I can see the reservations on becoming a mega repo. Would it be possible to create a second repo for optional layouts and use it as a submodule? That should keep the main repo clutter clean if possible. I'm not too sure how conditionals stuff like this would play out however.

I decided to switch to a tablet so that I could hardly work sitting down)
Purchased a thinkpad x1 tabled gen3

All the layouts for the tablet seem poor and absolutely not working, so I made my own

I do not require to include this layout in the main repository, but you can take it as an idea

I found out for myself

  1. Caps lock gets a second life on the on-screen keyboard
  2. you can work with the on-screen keyboard))) and even blindly))
  3. separating logically related elements separately is a bad idea, for example, to scatter part of the Latin alphabet to one side of the screen, part to the other, the eyes run around a lot in vain, or to scatter pairs of brackets apart from each other - the eye looks for the second bracket, but does not find it, the same with the arrows
  4. the thumb freely captures 10 keys in the case of this keyboard, if you hold the tablet correctly, of course
  5. it will not work to enter passwords reversed by the layout as on a regular keyboard, I mean, for example: for qwerty, the reverse sequence is a йцукен, on a regular keyboard you can peek at the second label on the key, here you do not add the second label on the key, the eye does not cling to the symbol at all, because I added a button to change the layout without changing characters on the keys
  6. something like an arrow should be positioned better as the ends of vectors that have a common reference point, i.e. as on a gamepad)
