This will be awesome! Hacker's Scandic will be for me, i.e.: Swedish keys, and pipe, back/slash, dollar, single/double quote, back-tick, hash, ampersand, round, square and curly braces, less than, greater than, equals, question-mark, exclamation-mark, comma, period, TAB (without modifier), escape (without modifier), circumflex, tilde, dash, underline, colon, semi-colon, asterisk and others I forgot easily available.

Someone will need to think quite hard about good keyboard layouts! One idea is reversing the normal order of some keys, like on some French keyboards, where the numbers and the accents are on the same keys, but the numbers are the ones that require a modifier (maybe caps-lock can work as num-lock?)

I am a bit concerned about the space at the top of the keyboard, will there be enough space between the Jolla and the top row of keys to avoid getting cramped by / bumping into the Jolla when using those keys?

Also, maybe swap places between insert and delete keys? Most people use delete a lot more than insert, and a small key right at the edge of the keyboard might get a bit uncomfortable to hit.

I like the large-size keys for important things (like ctrl, return, etc) but if that makes them mechanically harder to press or less precise, I rather have them the same size as all the other keys.

Do make sure to over-size and bevel the camera hole alot so that the camera is guaranteed to be useable without any diffraction problems, both with flash on and off! This was a bad problem with the original TOHKBD.

Oh, and a flip cover for the keyboard would be nice too, something with a stiff cover that can take bumps to the keyboard when I have it detached and in my pocket.

I do not know how to respond to this.

Do you assume we haven't?! The current layout is optimized to please as much people as possible.

Maybe you should look at this way...nothing is perfect, there is always possible to improve

i think specifications will be open, and you can always produce your own keyboard if want.
