tl;dr These scripts will generate a keyboard layout by sorting a giving piece of code and arranging the keys by how often the given char appears in the code.
I were bored today so I started this little "project". It isn't anything special, it just allows you to generate a keyboard layout (for CC) which will/should fit your needs. It consists out of two programs. One that analyzes a given file (which should contain code) and the other one takes the output from the first and converts that into an executable layout. When generating it will sort the characters of the given file by how often they appear and then gives them places according to their "worth". (the most used keys get a more centralized place on the keyboard. G is the key worth the most, then it goes to the left and right from G (alternating) and then the other two "layers" of keys. Then the same happens with capitalized (shift) keys). This method *should* give you the most optimized layout (according to the code provided)
Using it is easy:
download 2BiacX78 and EFVX27ye (I have saved them as "analyze" and "generate" but you can decide for yourself)
then choose some big file containing code (maybe one you wrote. I were using the minified code from Howl) and enter
The "Howl layout" looks like this for example:
With this layout "f" would act as spacebar (but the normal spacebar could still be used), "g" becomes "e", "h" becomes "n" etc. Sometimes if brackets are used strange (idk if that is even possible in Lua) it could happen that an opening/closing bracket is available from the normal keyboard but for it's counterpart you need shift so look out for that.
The way it is done right now has to leave some characters out because I only have a german keyboard so I could only write a full "priority list" for the normal german layout (QWERTZ). If anyone want's to write a "priority list" for the standard english layout please do so.
